    Wide bandgap Semiconductors for EVs

    Filippo Di Giovanni of STMicroelectronics explains how Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) wide bandgap semiconductors improve efficiency in electric vehicle powertrains, specifically traction inverters, DC-DC converters, and onboard chargers. He details ST's 'STpack' discrete package and 'STback' module technologies, which use silver sintering for superior thermal reliability, and discusses the company's vertical integration through its acquisition of Norstel. The conversation covers the transition from Silicon IGBTs to SiC MOSFETs for 800V systems, the maturity gap between SiC and GaN in automotive applications, and ST's roadmap for 200mm wafers and next-generation device architectures.

    Making Cars and Going ‘Fabless’ | Next-Gen EV & AV

    Colin Barnden, an analyst at Semicast Research, argues that new automotive entrants like Apple, Fisker, and Sony will adopt a 'fabless' model, designing vehicles while relying on contract manufacturers like Magna and Foxconn for production, mirroring the semiconductor industry's shift away from owned fabs. He suggests that the commoditization of EV 'skateboard' architectures lowers the barrier to entry, allowing companies with strong purchasing power, such as Apple, to bypass traditional manufacturing infrastructure and secure critical semiconductor supply. The discussion also covers the technical distinctions between EVs and autonomous vehicles (AVs), highlighting the roles of wide bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC, and promotes an upcoming EE Times conference on Next-Gen EV and AV technologies.
