Wolfspeed PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Until recently, the power module market was dominated by
silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (Si IGBTs). However, the
demand for better performance has made these legacy modules
less desirable for high-power applications and led to the rise of
silicon carbide-based power devices. New SiC components can
deliver higher voltage and current performance in less space
than their silicon-based counterparts, enabling high-power
density modules with minimal parasitics and high-temperature
operation.
To meet these market demands, Wolfspeed has adapted its
expertise in silicon carbide technology to power-dense, high-
volume and commercially available power modules in industry-
standard and optimized footprints. The company's power
modules are designed to meet each customer's system design
requirements with a package that offers best-in-class SiC
performance.

Wolfspeed's founders were the first to successfully
synthesize silicon carbide and for the last 30 years
have focused on devising and supplying the world's
power systems designers with the industry's
highest performing SiC technologies for high-power
applications. Wolfspeed's vertical integration (from
SiC material to packaging) allows them to provide
leading SiC technology throughout the supply chain.
As a pioneer in silicon carbide semiconductors,
Wolfspeed now fields the world's broadest, most
capable portfolio of next-generation SiC-based
MOSFETs, Schottky diodes and power modules.
Wolfspeed SiC power components are the
building blocks of modern electronics, supporting
applications such as renewable power, electric
vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) power
systems (including electric trains, buses, and other
types of public transportation), industrial power
such as UPS, motor drives, and much more.
