Due to the advantages of low power consumption, high withstand voltage, high temperature resistance, and high reliability, SiC power devices are widely used in inverters, converters, PFC circuits and other fields in electric vehicles / hybrid vehicles, traditional industries ( Especially in the field of power conversion in the military industry, and in the rectification and inverter fields of new energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy, many semiconductor manufacturers are optimistic about the future of SiC technology and actively participate in it. After acquiring the German SiCrySTal company that produced SiC wafers in 2008, ROHM has formed a one-stop production system in the SiC field from wafer manufacturing, pre-processes, post-processes to power modules, and took the lead in market SiC In mass production of devices, what new fields will Roma apply to SiC devices? How to use its advantages? Rom Semiconductor, an exhibitor at the 2012 Shanghai Electronics Show in Munich, shared its development strategy. 1. What kind of hotspot application device do you predict in 2012? What are the main areas? why? Roma Semiconductor: We believe that the application of SiC devices will become popular in 2012. This is because the popular technology for new energy solutions is SiC devices. It is expected that there will be new participating manufacturers in 2012. All along, ROHM has actively promoted the research and development of products such as trench SiC-MOSFETs. By mass-producing them, it has been the first to introduce SiC components one step ahead of other companies. Second, in the field of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, it is also an area where SiC can play. For new energy vehicles, electrical control is indispensable. ROHM will use the latest electronic technology to meet future challenges. Along with the progress of HV and EV, ROHM will respond to this trend by leveraging the high-reliability technology accumulated in Japan's electronic equipment in the overall electronicization of automobiles. 2. In light of the advantages of SiC, how does ROHM formulate a development strategy? ROHM Semiconductor: Among ROHM's four strategies for future development, one of them is the "power components" strategy. ROHM will focus on the development and sales of power components led by SiC components. By using these components, natural energy such as solar energy and wind power can be effectively converted into electrical energy. This is an indispensable component for utilizing new energy solutions. Moreover, ROHM started mass production of SiC-SBD in April 2010, and the world's first mass production of SiC-MOSFET in December 2010. As a result, Roma SiC components continue to advance to the world's leading level, and strive to expand the use of SiC components module products. We are advancing the development of GaN components starting with mass production of components using SiC materials. In terms of SiC, it has established a "one-stop" production system starting with wafers, and has developed a strategy to develop high-reliability products more quickly. 3. With the increasing miniaturization and ultra-thinness of electronic products, this has brought huge challenges to the device, how does your company deal with these challenges? ROHM Semiconductor: With the miniaturization and thinning of electronic products, ROHM is advancing the miniaturization and thinning of the components used. This time the world's smallest 03015 size resistor was developed. Not only this resistor, but also transistors, diodes, tantalum capacitors, LEDs, and other products are available in various small and thin products. ROHM not only has small and thin products, but also small high-power products and power component products. 4. In addition to new energy and automotive electronics, what other areas do SiC play its advantages in? ROHM Semiconductor: LED lighting. In terms of LED lighting power circuits, ROHM has high-voltage resistant MOSFETs, FRD and SiC devices to improve power efficiency. In addition, SiC devices that can be applied to future EVs, industrial equipment, and modules that can operate at high temperatures are being developed. 5. Will the current economic winter cause huge fluctuations or recession in the component market, and why? What strategy will your company take? ROHM Semiconductor: The European debt crisis has indeed affected the economy, but it is expected that the demand for power devices for smartphones and new energy solutions that are rapidly popularized this year will increase. We believe that there will be development and no decline. In order to pursue environmental protection, comfort, and improve safety, the automotive electronics market is constantly improving. Among them, the power from semiconductors is indispensable. ROHM has set up a special development group dedicated to the research and development of automotive electronics-related products. 6. What strategies and technologies does your company use to consolidate its leadership in components? ROHM Semiconductor: ROHM will continue to focus on the four major development strategies of "power device", "sensor", "LED", and "multiplication strategy", especially committed to the industrial equipment market of automobiles, new energy, medical equipment and so on. In the Chinese market, we will continue to strengthen cooperation with new and old local customers, aiming to become a truly international enterprise. 7. Regarding automobile comfort, safety and interconnectivity, what is your company's development strategy in the future? In what areas will you focus on R & D? ROHM Semiconductor: While promoting environmentally-friendly products that focus on low-power technologies, it also promotes the development and research of SiC devices, power devices, and various sensors for HEV vehicles and EV vehicles. 8. What are the guidelines for developing components in the future? ROHM Semiconductor: Our strategy is to develop miniaturized products, high pressure resistance, and low power consumption, and develop wired and wireless high-speed communication components and various sensors. ROHM will continue to develop high-reliability products and promote low-power consumption and environmental protection technologies. 9. What new passive component products did your company display at the 2012 Shanghai Electronics Show in Munich? ROHM Semiconductor: ROHM will bring power components led by SiC components that occupy an important position in new energy solutions. Moreover, unique products such as small components will be displayed. In addition, Roma will bring the latest automotive electronics solutions such as SiC devices for electric vehicles. 5.08Mm Ribbon Connector,Pressure Connector,Electrical Connector,Wire-To-Board Connector YUEQING WEIMAI ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD , https://www.weimaiconn.com
