Infineon Brings Silicon Carbide Performance to a New Level

Infineon Technologies introduces the next generation of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET trench technology. The new SiC MOSFET trench technology by Infineon is said to derive a new era in power systems and energy conversion.

The new Infineon CoolSiC™ MOSFET 650 V and 1200 V Generation 2 improve MOSFET key performance figures such as stored energies and charges by up to 20 percent compared to the previous generation.

The new SiC MOSFET trench technology enables it to not compromise quality and reliability levels.

The Infineon CoolSiC™ MOSFET G2 leads to higher overall energy efficiency and further contributing to decarbonization.

The True Power of CoolSiC MOSFET Generation 2 (G2) Technology

CoolSiC MOSFET Generation 2 (G2) technology continues to leverage the performance capabilities of silicon carbide by enabling lower energy loss that turns into higher efficiency during power conversion. This provides:

• Strong benefits to customers for various power semiconductor applications such as photovoltaics, energy storage, DC EV charging, motor drives and industrial power supplies.
• A DC fast charging station for electric vehicles which is equipped with CoolSiC G2 allows for up to 10 percent less power loss compared to previous generations.
• Enables higher charging capacity without compromising form factors.
• Traction inverters based on CoolSiC G2 devices can further increase electric vehicle ranges.
• In the area of renewable energies, solar inverters designed with CoolSiC G2 make smaller sizes possible while maintaining a high power output, resulting in a lower cost per watt.

Contributing to high-performance CoolSiC G2 solutions, Infineon’s pioneer CoolSiC MOSFET trench technology provides an optimized design trade-off, allowing higher efficiency and reliability compared to SiC MOSFET technology available so far. Combined with the award-winning.

XT Packaging Technology

XT packaging technology, Infineon is further increasing the potential of designs based on CoolSiC G2 with higher thermal conductivity, better assembly control and improved performance.
