Infineon Technologies Signed Supply Agreement of SiC with GTAT to Expand its Product Portfolio

Germany-based Infineon Technologies AG and GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) signed a silicon carbide (SiC) boule in November 2020. This contract is valid for five years. GTAT stated that it would provide Infineon with a high-quality internal SiC wafer supply by applying its proprietary thin-wafer technology to GTAT's crystal. It focuses on cutting down the substrate cost and maintaining and securing the demand for silicon carbide in the area.  With the new brand name CoolSiC, Infineon markets the industry's products for industrial applications such as photovoltaic inverters and industrial power supplies. They are rapidly expanding their offerings towards consumer and automotive products, thus driving the SiC based power electronics and inverter market growth in the forthcoming years.

Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence with SiC Based Switches to Propel Growth

Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) with SiC based power electronics and inverters has upscaled the demand from end-users such as IGBT, BJT, etc. This is due to their increased adoption and the efficiency and reduction of operational costs for the company. For instance, Silicon Valley startup, Pre-Switch in March 2021 launched an AI-based soft-switching IGBT and a 200kW silicon carbide (SiC) automotive inverter evaluation system. It will help to explore the soft-switching framework over different conditions such as temperature and varying electrical load. Therefore, such new technological advancements are expected to drive the market in the upcoming years.
