View this newsletter online January 10, 2024 Your weekly digest of news, analysis and perspective on the global power electronics industry. Advertisement Editor's Note Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio – Editor-in-Chief Happy New Year! Wishing 2024 brings boundless joy, unwavering hope, and incredible opportunities your way. The forthcoming year, 2024, is anticipated to witness accelerated adoption of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) in power systems, fostering increased energy efficiency and compact designs. This newsletter examines the effects of wireless charging for EVs, SiC for the automotive industry, and charging infrastructure. One of the main things impeding the broad adoption of EVs is the restricted accessibility of charging stations. Additionally, CMOS cleanroom-compatible 200-mm gallium nitride/silicon process technology has been disclosed by CEA-Leti. Japan is attempting to take advantage of a restructuring opportunity in order to make up for the forty years it has lost in the semiconductor industry, as TrendForce has noted. Based on the physical features of Japan, TrendForce has determined three potential semiconductor hub locations. Furthermore, we report on WipDA 2023 in this newsletter, which attracted delegates from over 17 nations across three continents, demonstrating the significance and widespread interest in advances in wide bandgap ecosystems. Highlights Wireless EV Charging Set to Transform the Automotive Industry Research and development of new technologies for charging EVs have become increasingly frequent and necessary. Read More Three Tech Hubs Aim to Drive Japan's Semiconductor Industry Japan is attempting to regain the four decades it lost as a semiconductor industry leader. Read More CEA-Leti Breakthrough: Revolutionizing GaN Technology for Advanced Applications CEA-Leti has developed a 200mm gallium nitride/silicon (GaN/Si) process technology compatible with CMOS cleanrooms that preserves the high performance of the semiconductor material and costs less than existing GaN/SiC technology.
