Abstract: A vertical gallium nitride (GaN) PN diode uses epitaxial growth of a thick drift region with a very low carrier concentration and a carefully designed multi-zone junction termination extension to achieve high voltage blocking and high-power efficiency. An exemplary large area (1 mm2) diode had a forward pulsed current of 3.5 A, an 8.3 m?-cm2 specific on-resistance, and a 5.3 kV reverse breakdown. A smaller area diode (0.063 mm2) was capable of 6.4 kV breakdown with a specific on-resistance of 10.2 m?-cm2, when accounting for current spreading through the drift region at a 45° angle.

Abstract: Training of a machine learning model can indicate data features within operational data, customer data, and/or worker data that are most predictive of outcome scores, such as customer satisfaction scores, associated with performance of instances of a process by an entity. The training of the machine learning model can also indicate target zones, associated with values of the identified predictive data features, that are associated with outcome scores within a target range. Process data, associated with a set of instances of the process, can be analyzed to identify instances of the process that associated with values of the predictive data features that are, or are not, within the target zones.
