After several years of delays and questioning, SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology confirms its added-value, compared to existing silicon technologies. In its latest report, GaN and SiC Devices for Power Electronics Applications (July 2015 edition), Yole Développement announces the penetration of SiC, from low to high voltage (600 to 3,300V), in the following market segments: PFC, PV, diodes with EV/HEV, wind, UPS and motor drives. Under this...

ROHM has completed the acquisition of Powervation, a developer of digital power management SoC solutions, for approximately $70m in an all-cash transaction. Combining Powervation’s Intelligent Digital Power platform with ROHM’s leading analogue power technology and global market access will enable a range of fast growing market opportunities, as customers increasingly adopt digital power solutions to power next-gen high density system...

In a competitive landscape, Yole Développement points out the serenity of the Wide Band Gap (WBG) market and the confidence of its players: WBG companies are slowly but surely reshaping the industry and accelerate the market adoption with numerous strategic mergers and acquisitions (Cree, Infineon Technologies…) and the development of disruptive solutions.In its latest technology and market analysis, 'GaN & SiC for power electro...

ROHM has recently announced the development of an AC/DC converter control IC designed specifically for SiC MOSFET drive in industrial equipment such as servers and other large power applications.

ROHM has announced the development and mass production of a SiC MOSFET that adopts the world's first trench structure. Compared to existing planar-type SiC MOSFETs, RDS(ON) is reduced by 50% in the same chip size, making it possible to significantly decrease power loss in a variety of equipment, from industrial inverters and power supplies to power conditioners for solar power systems.

Claimed to be the world’s first trench-type SiC MOSFET, Rohm has announced mass production of an SiC MOSFET that reduces on resistance by 50%, compared to planar SiC MOSFETs, says the company.
