SOITEC SEPTEMBRE 2023

While writing on infotainment and ADAS I sometimes wonder about the devices that make an EV run. These have nothing to do with digital or software wizardry. While logic and software play a role, the real heart of EV power is in power electronics driving motors, regenerative braking and charger options at home and on the road. Technologies… Read More

Soitec is Engineering the Future of the Semiconductor Industry

The crystalline structure of silicon delivers the incredible capabilities that have fueled the exponential increases defined by Moore’s Law. It turns out that silicon in its purest form will fall short at times – power handling and speed are examples. In these cases, adding additional materials to the silicon can enhance its … Read More

yieldHUB Box Plot

Whether it is the stock market or the semiconductor market, the name of the game is yield. In semiconductors, yield has to do with minimizing scrap costs in all phases of manufacturing. This means squeezing as many good dies from a wafer as well as maximizing the number of good assembled/packaged chips that pass system level testing.… Read More

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a very interesting material. If you find in nature the mineral moissanite, it will be only minute quantities in certain types of meteorite. The moissanite physical properties are very similar to these of diamond, in term of density and abrasive power. In the semiconductor industry, SiC is characterized… Read More
