Rogers Corporation has announced that it has signed a lease on a factory in Monterrey, Mexico for advanced busbar manufacturing and engineering services. The first phase of the new site is slated for completion in late 2024 and continues Rogers’ manufacturing footprint strategy of supporting customers in the regions where they operate.

Infineon Technologies AG today filed a lawsuit, through its subsidiary Infineon Technologies Austria AG, against Innoscience (Zhuhai) Technology Company, Ltd., and Innoscience America, Inc. and affiliates (hereinafter: Innoscience). Infineon is seeking permanent injunction for infringement of a United States patent relating to gallium nitride (GaN) technology owned by Infineon. The patent claims cover core aspects of GaN power semiconductors encompassing innovations that enable the reliability and performance of Infineon’s proprietary GaN devices.

New materials are allowing the creation of faster, more powerful, energy-efficient, and more heat-resistant semiconductors. Wide bandgap semiconductor materials have the potential to transform power electronics and the world as we know it. But there are issues we must overcome before we can take full advantage of these remarkable materials.

Electrification has been called the “biggest engineering achievement of the 20th century”. This article explains the current status of electrification in 2024 through electric vehicles, locomotives, smart grid, and the aviation industry. It highlights the growing demand, market size, physical implementation, and worldwide attention with the latest headlines about funding and statistics.

Research has long since been looking to tackle the challenge of maximising efficiency in power conversion at a low cost. Now, a relatively new consortium known as YESvGAN is looking to create a new class of vertical power transistors based on gallium nitride (GaN).

Foxconn, the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronics, is facing an impending shortage of AI chips, highlighting the need for new manufacturing facilities. This situation emphasizes the growing gap between the rising demand for specialized AI chips and the current supply.

Semiconductors are crucial to the technology that powers the modern world. For decades, Taiwan has stood as the world’s leading manufacturer of semiconductor chips. We take a closer look at the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing industry and examine just how and why Taiwan became such as powerhouse.

Much of the technology we use daily would not be possible without the invention of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Not only did the printed circuit board make it possible to downsize electronic equipment, but they also made the manufacture of powerful circuitry more cost effective. Today, printed circuit boards are found everywhere — and while their physical characteristics vary enormously, they still conform to a few basic design principles.

The Swedish sodium-ion battery developer Altris is proud to announce a partnership with Polarium, a leading energy storage developer. The two companies will collaborate to develop and demonstrate an energy storage solution based on sodium-ion batteries which are completely free from conflict minerals and toxic elements.

JFET is a field effect transistor that controls current flow through voltage variation. The unipolar JFET is used as a resistor, switch, amplifier, and many more. This article explains the JFET symbol, types, operations, advantages, and applications. It also explains the differences between two of the widely used field effect transistors- JFET and MOSFET.
