SemiQ Introduces Known-Good-Die Program for Its Silicon Carbide MOSFET Lineup
SemiQ Revolutionizes SiC Design with Known-Good-Die Program for Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
SemiQ, a leading innovator in silicon carbide (SiC) technology, has announced a groundbreaking Known-Good-Die (KGD) program. This program elevates the design and manufacturing of high-voltage, high-efficiency power electronics by providing customers with pre-screened and guaranteed SiC MOSFET dies.
Unlocking the Potential of SiC Technology
SiC is a revolutionary material rapidly gaining traction due to its exceptional properties:
- Superior Efficiency: SiC devices enable significant energy savings compared to traditional silicon-based solutions.
- High-Voltage Performance: SiC excels in high-voltage applications, making it ideal for a wide range of demanding power electronics applications.
The Power of KGD: Consistency and Predictability
SemiQ's KGD program offers several key advantages for engineers and manufacturers working with SiC technology:
- Consistent Electrical Parameters: Each KGD die undergoes rigorous electrical sorting and optical inspection, ensuring consistent performance across all devices. This translates to predictable behavior and reliable operation in the final application.
- Simplified Design and Manufacturing: Known-good dies eliminate the need for extensive in-house testing, streamlining the design and manufacturing process. This reduces development time and costs for customers.
- Enhanced High-Frequency Performance: KGD SiC MOSFETs boast near-constant junction capacitance and low insertion loss, crucial characteristics for high-frequency applications.
- Improved End-of-Line Yield: The guaranteed performance of KGD dies reduces the risk of defects during final equipment assembly, leading to higher end-of-line yield and reduced production costs.
- Simplified High-Power Module Design: Consistent die parameters allow for easier parallel connection of multiple SiC devices in high-power modules, simplifying the design process.
Extensive Portfolio for Diverse Applications
The KGD program encompasses SemiQ's entire range of QSiC 1200 V SiC MOSFETs, offering a variety of on-resistance options (20 mΩ to 80 mΩ) to cater to diverse application needs. These KGD devices are ideal for use in:
- Automotive: SiC MOSFETs are instrumental in the development of next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) due to their efficiency and high-voltage capabilities.
- eMobility: Charging infrastructure and other eMobility applications benefit from the superior efficiency of SiC technology.
- Renewable Energy: Solar inverters and wind turbine converters can achieve significant efficiency gains by utilizing SiC MOSFETs.
- Industrial Power Supplies: SiC-based power supplies offer higher efficiency and smaller footprints for industrial applications.
Seamless Integration and Flexibility
SemiQ's KGD program offers flexibility in terms of die presentation, allowing customers to choose between blue tape, pre-cured UV tape, or tape and reel formats to seamlessly integrate KGD SiC dies into their existing manufacturing processes.
