The E-mobility market is one of the fastest growing markets with unique challenges in efficiency, innovation and time to market. This is an enormous task for the European power electronic supply chain, because innovation travels slowly along the classical supply chain and is often not fully optimized. For automotive traction inverter products, SiC based power modules are identified as a key component of efficiency and innovation because it combines the power semiconductor requirements with the inverter applications. Leonardo Montoya and Dr. Stefan Hain will present, how powerful the establishment of a joint venture between ZF and Wolfspeed could be and what benefits could be achieved, if the SiC chip technology, the power module design and the inverter architecture is perfectly matched through the work of the joint R&D center. The presented project is part of the IPCEI Microelectronic and EU Chips Act, which were established to boost resilience in European semiconductor research & development.
