In the ever-evolving realm of power semiconductors, the past decade has seen remarkable shifts. Long dominated by Silicon, the rapid rise of SiC and GaN, has reshaped the industry. However, Silicon’s evolution continues, with the adoption of 300 mm Si MOSFET and IGBT platforms, ensuring its cost competitiveness. By 2028, Yole Group projects a market value of $33.3 billion for global discrete and power modules. SiC, from its breakthrough in the Tesla Model 3 to its widespread use in 800V BEVs, notably in China, has witnessed substantial growth, driven by trends like 200 mm platforms, higher power density and optimized power module packaging. GaN, after success in consumer segments, explores automotive applications.

In this presentation, we will review the latest market and technology trends in Power Electronics.
