Optimum semiconductors for high-power electronics
TL;DR: In this article, the peak electric field strength at avalanche breakdown was used as a critical material parameter for evaluating the quality of a semiconducting material for high-power electronics, and it was shown that SiC and diamond could offer significant advantages compared to either silicon or group III-V compound semiconductors for these applications.

New Material and Device Design Considerations for High-Power Electronics
TL;DR: In this paper, the peak electric field strength at avalanche breakdown was used as the critical material parameter for high-power electronic applications and it was shown that wide bandgap semiconductors are by far the most desirable materials for high power electronic applications.
