The electrification of means of transport involves the development of converters from battery DC voltage to AC voltage for motors. Increasing the performance of these power converters requires very high performance power electronic components, such as Gallium Arsenide (GaN) transistors. The consequence is a very high power density to be dissipated as heat (> 500 W/cm2).
