US cancels trade planning meeting with China, source says

　　The White House rejected a trade planning meeting with Chinese counterparts this week due to outstanding disagreements between the two sides over the enforcement of intellectual property rules.　　Officials from the U.S. trade representative's office were set to meet with two Chinese vice ministers this week to try to resolve trade differences before the March 1 deadline, but the meeting was called off, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to CNBC's Kayla Tausche.　　Should Beijing and Washington fail to agree on a permanent solution, President Donald Trump has said he will reinforce punitive tariffs on roughly half of all Chinese exports to the U.S.　　Asked for comment, the White House told CNBC that "the teams remain in touch in preparation for high level talks with Vice Premier Liu He at the end of this month." The Treasury Department and the U.S. trade representative's office did not respond to requests for comment.　　White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow denied that an official meeting had been canceled, telling CNBC on Tuesday that no intermediate meetings had been scheduled other than the visit by Liu next week.　　One source suggested that talks may still happen over the phone, but the termination of the in-person visit signals that reaching a complete agreement beyond the basic tenants of the Group of 20 truce will be difficult. China offered to boost its imports from the U.S. for six years, officials familiar with the matter told CNBC last week, though how any such promise would be enforced remains uncertain.　　Chinese officials made the offer during negotiations in Beijing earlier in January, Bloomberg News reported. China would increase its annual import of U.S. goods by a combined value of more than $1 trillion, the officials told Bloomberg, which was the first to report on the import boost offer.　　"I would kind of characterize negotiations as generally moving in the right direction. Last week, China offered a fig leaf in lowering tariff rates and agreed to import a trillion dollars of U.S. goods by 2024," said Joseph Lupton, global economist at J.P. Morgan.　　Trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing have stretched for months amid a tit-for-tat dispute. Both countries have slapped tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each others' goods. The White House put tariffs of 10 percent on $200 billion of Chinese productsin September and at the time threatened to increase the levy to 25 percent by the start of 2019.　　The two nations late last year agreed to halt additional tariffs as they engage in new trade talks with the goal of reaching an agreement before the March deadline following Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Argentina.　　"I think there's a lot of posturing going on. Trump's tweeting the China numbers are weak, they better make a deal quick," Lupton added. "I think a lot of that posturing is what's taking place here but beneath the surface both sides see a need to get some sort of deal here. It's just a matter of spinning it as a win for the two sides."

Pushing the boundaries of semiconductors

　　Scientists from the university of Freiburg, the Sustainability Center Freiburg and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have joined forces in order to explore a new material structure that may be better suited for future power electronics.　　The study, Power Electronics 2020, has led them to explore a piezoelectric semiconductor, a material with a high dielectric strength known as scandium aluminium nitride (ScAlN).　　Silicon has dominated the electronics industry. With its relatively low cost and an almost perfect crystal structure, it has become a particularly successful semiconductor material. Moreover, its bandgap allows for both a good charge carrier concentration and velocity as well as a good dielectric strength. Despite its benefits, silicon electronics is gradually reaching its physical limit. Especially with regard to the increasing demand for power density and compactness.　　The limitations of silicon technology have already been overcome by the use of gallium nitride (GaN) as a semiconductor in power electronics. GaN performs better in conditions of high voltages, high temperatures and fast switching frequencies compared to silicon. This also allows for higher energy efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption.　　Fraunhofer IAF has been researching GaN as a semiconductor material for electronic components and systems for many years. With the help of industrial partners, the results of this work have already been put to commercial use. The Power Electronics 2020 team is now looking towards the next step, enhancing the energy efficiency and durability of next generation electronic systems once more.　　ScAlN is largely unexplored worldwide with regard of its usability in microelectronic applications. But its suitability for power electronic components has already been proven, says the team. The aim of the project is to grow lattice-matched ScAlN on a GaN layer and to use the resulting heterostructures to process transistors with high current carrying capacity.　　Functional semiconductor structures based on materials with a large bandgap, such as ScAlN and GaN, allow for transistors with very high voltages and currents. These devices reach a higher power density per chip surface as well as higher switching speeds and higher operating temperatures. This is synonymous with lower switching losses, higher energy efficiency and more compact systems. By combining both materials, the researchers want to double the maximal possible output power of our devices while at the same time significantly lowering the energy demand.　　One of the biggest challenges of the project is crystal growth because their existing structures neither growth recipes nor empirical values. The project team is looking to develop these during the next months in order to reach reproducible results and to produce layer structures that can successfully be used for power electronic applications.
