The National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded a $500,000 CAREER Project Grant (CFDA 47.041, Engineering program) to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville on April 15, 2026, for research extending through March 31, 2031. The project develops an Aggregated Wide Bandgap (WBG) Multi-Chip (AWMC) Power Module paradigm designed to overcome critical barriers in deploying WBG semiconductors for medium to high-voltage power conversion applications. The research addresses the growing electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure and transportation electrification by creating scalable, cost-effective solutions that combine mature, lower-voltage WBG chips in series and parallel configurations to achieve high voltage (>10 kV) and high current (>100 A) capabilities. Key deliverables include a systematic framework for simultaneous voltage, current, and thermal balancing in multi-chip high-voltage modules; an active gate driving scheme with integrated sensing and real-time balancing control; and a scalable packaging architecture featuring symmetric gate paths, reduced parasitics, and decreased partial discharge risk. The project's broader impacts encompass accelerating the transition from legacy silicon-based systems to efficient WBG infrastructure, supporting grid modernization and domestic manufacturing, and developing a skilled workforce through interdisciplinary education, open-access design tools, and outreach to K-12 and university students.Federal Grant Award Summary
