ST Strengthens Growth Engine with Next-Generation SiC and GaN Power Semiconductors
Published
ST, a global integrated semiconductor company based in Europe, is building up its growth momentum with next-generation power semiconductors. ST is an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) that designs semiconductors and also handles their production directly.
ST makes semiconductors used across a wide range of fields, from smartphones and home appliances to automobiles, industrial equipment, and data centers. Drawing on this broad business base, the company is focusing its efforts on new technology areas.
Among these, the field attracting the most attention is power semiconductors based on SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride). These materials can handle power more efficiently than conventional silicon semiconductors, so demand is growing in electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and other applications. ST is preparing for future markets by strengthening its technological capabilities in this field.
These developments will also be introduced at the 'Materials, Parts and Equipment Tech Fair.' The Materials, Parts and Equipment Tech Fair is an event where companies in the materials, parts, and equipment sectors showcase their latest technologies, and it is a venue that domestic industry stakeholders are likely to find worth examining closely. ST's next-generation power semiconductor strategy is expected to help in understanding the trends of the domestic semiconductor industry.
