Littelfuse, Inc. announces the launch of the IX4352NE Low-side SiC MOSFET and IGBT Gate Driver. This innovative driver is specifically designed to drive Silicon Carbide MOSFETs and high-power Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors in industrial applications.

SK Hynix is to spend US$15 billion on a major high-bandwidth memory plant. This announcement comes just weeks after the company revealed plans to establish US operations with a US$4 billion packaging plant.

Have you ever wondered what those regularly moving square pulses on that big machine in electronic laboratories mean? Those square pulses seen on an oscilloscope are a modulation technique called “Pulse Width Modulation”. The article discusses PWM in detail.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest contract chipmaker, has announced that preparations have begun for the construction of its Dresden chip factory and that plans are on schedule.

There is no doubt: the energy and mobility transition as society’s biggest challenges, are having a profound impact on semiconductor technology. This is why sophisticated, low-loss electronic components are essential for turning modern concepts such as solar and wind energy or e-mobility into reality.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new high-volume 200mm silicon carbide (“SiC”) manufacturing facility for power devices and modules, as well as test and packaging, to be built in Catania, Italy. Combined with the SiC substrate manufacturing facility being readied on the same site, these facilities will form ST’s Silicon Carbide Campus, realizing the Company’s vision of a fully vertically integrated manufacturing facility for the mass production of SiC on one site.

Wide-bandgap semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence together are revolutionizing power electronics. A new class of intelligent power electronic systems is unlocking new performance and application areas. The high demands of system development impact the entire power electronics value chain.

According to a universal law, heat generation is an effect of current. PWM is widely used in power electronics systems to control the output and deliver power to the load. But PWM ends up generating large amounts of heat in a system. The article explains the heat generation problem in PWM and lists ways to minimize it.

Opening of the joint ASML-imec High NA EUV Lithography Lab marks a milestone in preparing High NA EUV lithography for accelerated adoption in mass manufacturing.

The TU Chemnitz (Germany) introduces the Master's program "Design and Test for Integrated Circuits," training urgently needed specialists for the semiconductor industry. The nationwide unique program for highly demanded experts in circuit design and testing starts in Winter Semester 2024/25.
