Facilities

A range of facilities across three institutions

Across our three partner academic institutions, we are working to deliver the next generation of power electronics and semiconductor technologies for Net Zero applications.

Our state-of-the-art facilities provide complete device and module fabrication and testing capabilities, covering a range of technology and material systems matched to our world-leading academic expertise:

  • Device design and simulation
  • Custom epitaxial growth of semiconductor materials systems
  • Analysis and characterisation
  • Fabrication in Class 1000 and 10000 cleanroom facilities and packaging of devices
  • Testing and reliability

University of Warwick

The University of Warwick’s PEATER group provides a unique offering by working as a vertically integrated group with an ability to fabricate and test a complete SiC device.

REWIRE has access to all the capabilities on site required to develop and deliver the next generation of SiC power electronics technologies, with extensive facilities covering device design, material growth, processing, packaging and electrical characterisation.

University of Bristol

The University of Bristol operates world-class laboratories and facilities with semiconductor processing housed in the Centre for Device Thermography and Reliability. Facilities include:

  • Unique growth capabilities for emergent Ga2O3 materials systems
  • Extensive thermal imaging
  • Reliability and testing capabilities
  • Device design and simulation

Within the Electrical Energy Management group in the School of Engineering, we have access to high-power test cells, state-of-the-art measurement capabilities for advanced power electronics, and rapid manufacturing facilities to demonstrate practical systems across a range of Net Zero application areas.

The Bristol Business School is working with REWIRE to assess supply chain risks and threats, we can work with supply chain experts to understand the potential impact of our material and processing decisions.
