EPC’s CEO & co-founder Alex Lidow inducted into ISPSD Hall of Fame

Efficient Power Conversion Corp (EPC) of El Segundo, CA, USA – which makes enhancement-mode gallium nitride on silicon (eGaN) power field-effect transistors (FETs) for power management applications – says that, at the 31st IEEE International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs (ISPSD 2019) in Shanghai, China (19-23 May), its CEO & co-founder Dr Alex Lidow was inducted into the ISPSD Hall of Fame 2019. The honor is bestowed for contributing to advancing power semiconductor technology and sustaining the success of ISPSD.

“I share this honor with Tom Herman, with whom I undertook the foundational work on the power MOSFET, and with my co-founders at EPC, Joe Cao and Bob Beach, who had the courage to join me on our mission to develop gallium nitride power devices to crush silicon,” says Lidow. “I look forward to continue working with our customers who are innovating new designs with GaN,” he adds.

“Contributions to our semiconductor industry have been most important in furthering our betterment of the whole world, as well as changing the way we live,” comments advisory committee chair Dr John Shen.
