Technology And Culture

The levels of business disruption and technology innovation in the past decade are unparalleled in human history. The Digital Age is fully and truly upon us and organisations are in a race to redefine and recast themselves. This practitioner-oriented paper discusses how organisations can reposition themselves for the digital future. By outlining the strategic pillars of digital transformation, including people, process, technology and culture, the paper demonstrates how firms and individuals can become digital ready and future ready.

The Impact

AbstractThe present status of SiC high-voltage power switching devices is reviewed. The figures of merits that have been used for unipolar and bipolar devices to quantify the intrinsic performance improvement over silicon are presented. Analytical and numerical modeling and simulations to estimate the BV and device choice are described. The active area and termination design of trenched-gate MOS power transistors, together with an integrated process for their fabrication, is presented. The progress in high-voltage power device experimental demonstration is described. The material and process technology issues that need to be addressed for SiC device commercialization are discussed. Finally, the impact of SiC power devices on motor drive systems is estimated.

Sol-gel processing has been used to control the structure of a material on a nanometer scale in preparing advanced ceramics and glasses. Film coating using the sol-gel process was also found to be a viable process technology in applications such as optical, porous, antireflection and hard coatings. In this study, organically modified silicate (Ormosil) coatings are applied to PET films for various industrial applications. Sol-gel materials are known to exhibit nanometer scale structures which havepreviously been characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), neutron scattering and light scattering. Imaging of the ultrafine sol-gel structures has also been performed using an ultrahigh resolution replica/TEM technique. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrafine structures inthe sol gel coatings using a direct imaging technique: atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, correlation of microstructures with processing parameters, coating density and other physical properties will be discussed.The materials evaluated are organically modified silicate coatings on PET film substrates. Refractive index measurement by the prism coupling method was used to assess density of the sol-gel coating.AFM imaging was performed on a Nanoscope III AFM (by Digital Instruments) using constant force mode. Solgel coating samples coated with a thin layer of Ft (by ion beam sputtering) were also examined by STM in order to confirm the structures observed in the contact type AFM. In addition, to compare the previous results, sol-gel powder samples were also prepared by ultrasonication followed by Pt/Au shadowing and examined using a JEOL 100CX TEM.
