In this video, you will find a conversation with Alex Lidow - the inventor of the original Power MOSFET and HEXFET during his time at International Rectifier. Alex later became CEO of the company founded by his father and today is the Founder and CEO of Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), known for producing some of the most efficient GaN FETs on the market. In the discussion, you will hear the story of how the power MOSFET was invented - on Alex’s very first day on the job - and how that breakthrough helped shape modern power electronics.
The conversation also dives into silicon physics, the rise of GaN technologies, and the growing power demands of AI data centers and humanoid robots, offering a fascinating perspective that connects the origins of power semiconductors with the technologies driving the future of computing and electrification.
