The global power semiconductor market is poised for remarkable growth over the next decade, according to Frost & Sullivan’s latest report, “Power Semiconductors #Market, Global, 2024–2033.” In this power semiconductors report, Frost & Sullivan has identified seven key growth opportunities in the power semiconductor space. These opportunities quantify the scale of revenue opportunity, and its impact timeline, map the relevant end-user verticals and applications, and provide a view of the context of the opportunity along with perspectives on the call to action to capitalize on this opportunity. The report highlights the transformative impact of rapid electrification across industries, the #AI boom, and the surging demand for renewable energy. Power #semiconductors, particularly those based on silicon (Si), #siliconcarbide (#SiC), and #galliumnitride (#GaN), are gaining traction due to their high voltage, switching frequency, and efficiency characteristics. Key growth drivers include the expansion of #electricmobility, #5G deployments, data center growth, and the increasing focus on sustainability. With a detailed segmentation by end-user industries, materials, and regions, the report provides a roadmap for stakeholders to navigate the evolving landscape and capitalize on emerging trends. As the world moves towards a more electrified and sustainable future, the power #semiconductor market is set to play a pivotal role in this transition. #powerelectronics

Texas Instruments Expands GaN Production in #Japan The #manufacturing sector is investing in sophisticated technologies and streamlining processes to satisfy the increasing needs of the power electronics sector. Strategically, Texas Instruments (TI) has started producing #GaN semiconductors in its Aizu factory in Japan, therefore greatly increasing its capability for in-house GaN manufacture. By combining the Aizu plant with its current Dallas, Texas production line, TI intends to increase its GaN output even more, hence improving its general capacity in this important market. Sameer Pendharkar, TI Senior Fellow and VP of Advanced Technology Development, underlined in an interview with Power Electronics News the strategic developments Texas Instruments has undertaken to increase GaN production capacity #sustainably. #galliumnitride #powerelectronics

" The rapid growth in electrification has driven the need for advanced battery solutions. The partnership between Infineon’s advanced battery management ICs and EVE Energy`s advanced battery technologies will pave the way for the next generation of intelligent battery packs,” said Andreas Doll, Senior Vice President and General Manager Smart Power at Infineon Technologies . https://lnkd.in/gJkjJGu9 #ev #battery #component #semiconductor #ic #packs #infineon #techmezine #electronics #bms #batterysolution #power #smart Mamta Pant Abichandani Infineon Technologies Canada Inc.

While clean #electricity generation points clearly toward renewable sources, the other end of the lever—efficient energy consumption—will be equally critical to meet decarbonization goals. This would mean designing smart and effective systems that consume the lowest power as well as minimizing loss through every #powerconversion stage in these same systems. The latter challenge, the focus of this article, has been successfully managed by silicon-based power semiconductors over the past several decades. But thanks to advances in power semiconductor technology in recent years, #widebandgap materials (WBG) including silicon carbide and #galliumnitride have entered the market to provide unique and significant efficiency and power density advantages across an array of applications.

PolyCharge has entered into a collaborative research agreement with Nagoya University to advance power module design using our NanoLam™ capacitor technology. This partnership is about more than just innovation—it’s about driving real progress in energy-efficient solutions for the global market. Together, we’re working to develop advanced, self-healing, high-temperature capacitors that will enhance the performance and longevity of power modules by reducing electromagnetic interference and improving switching efficiency. Grateful for the opportunity to work with such a renowned institution, and I look forward to sharing updates as we hit new milestones. Here’s to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in power electronics! #Innovation #Partnership #TechnologyLeadership #EnergyEfficiency

A whole chipset, comprising microcontroller units, balancing and monitoring integrated circuits, power management ICs, drivers, MOSFETs, controller area networks, and sensor devices, will be provided by Infineon as part of the Memorandum of Understanding.

Recently Power Integrations announced an agreement to acquire the assets of Odyssey Semiconductors, the latest and interesting development in the power GaN space. In the release, the company announced its intent to leverage the experience of the Odyssey team in developing high-current vertical GaN to develop high-current and high-voltage power GaN to compete with SiC in high-power applications.   It is well known that Power Integrations has been an industry pioneer in commercializing high-voltage GaN power devices, which very well complements with what the Odyssey’s vertical GaN technology wanted to achieve. We see this as a positive development that will accelerate the #power #GaN market growth.  Recently we saw #vertical #GaN companies finding hard to generate commercial success. However, Frost & Sullivan's interaction with market participants found that Vertical GaN is not a closed topic, but certainly a technology that requires more research and investments to put GaN in the high-voltage market segments. Vertical GaN requires persistent research efforts, but also different technology and commercialization strategies and partnerships. We wish Power Integrations all the best in this transaction.

Recently Infineon Technologies opened a new chapter in power systems and #energyconversion and introduced the next generation of #siliconcarbide #MOSFET trench technology. The new Infineon Technologies CoolSiC™ MOSFET 650 V and 1200 V Generation 2 improve MOSFET key performance figures such as stored energies and charges by up to 20% compared to the previous generation without compromising quality and reliability levels leading to higher overall energy efficiency and further contributing to #decarbonization. CoolSiC MOSFET Generation 2 (G2) technology continues to leverage performance capabilities of #SiC by enabling lower energy loss that turns into higher efficiency during #powerconversion. This provides strong benefits to customers for various #powersemiconductors applications such as #photovoltaics, #energystorage, DC EV charging, motor drives and industrial power supplies.

*DOE 1000x POWER SAVING ROADMAP* I'm exited to share that the U.S. is leading the way in future chip technology. In addition to the many DOC CHIPS Act programs and DOD's MEC, DOE is stepping in. I had the pleasure to work with a dedicated team to supported and build an initial roadmap called EES2 (Energy Efficiency Scaling 20 years) released recently. Now, DOE is soliciting inputs (RFI) for a program. The Florida Semiconductor Institute (FSI) joined EES2 in signing a pledge in exploring technologies in doubling energy efficiency every other year to achieve a 1000x reduction in 20 years. Onwards! p.s. Here the DOE's official Press Release: The U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) just announced a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit public comments on its Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades (EES2) initiative (including its biennial efficiency doubling goal) and its draft EES2 R&D Roadmap. AMMTO is seeking input in three different categories, including Category A: EES2 initiative goals and objectives; Category B: Roadmap document; and Category C: Process and future steps. https://lnkd.in/eaAhip2C University of Florida ECE Florida Florida Semiconductor Institute U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) #semiconductors #Roadmap #Energy #chips
