Specialists in power semiconductor device design and optimisation, including wide band gap devices

An East of England fabless semiconductor company offers wide ranging expert consultancy services to developers of power electronics systems and semiconductor devices worldwide. High voltage power devices are used in many fields such as electric vehicles, medical devices, LED drivers, AC-DC converters, traction, HVDC (high-voltage, direct current) etc. These devices are at the heart of electric power conversion and are becoming increasingly important for high efficiency power conversion, extended range of EVs, miniaturised medical devices, etc. The company offers expert consultancy services to product developers to help them choose or develop optimum power devices for their target application, development of new concepts or transfer into mass production, qualification, yield and reliability enhancement and IP generation. Technologies mastered include 20V to >6500V solutions in Si, SOI, SiC, GaN, diamond. The device expertise encompasses trench and superjunction MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) and IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors), diodes, BJTs (bipolar junction transistors). In addition, the company also has their own proprietary lateral high voltage technology with world’s smallest lateral power IGBT. The technology allows easy integration with CMOS circuits, sensors, start-up devices, ideal for energy-efficient compact power supplies and medical devices. The cooperation with developers and manufacturers of above-mentioned devices may be technical or commercial with technical assistance. The former will apply to joint development, the latter is more fit for cases where the UK company provides semiconductor devices along with technical support and know-how for further integration into partners’ products.
