“Key applications for WBG power semiconductors and future outlook” with Dr. Peter Friedrichs, Infineon

1 Feb 2022

In the latest episode of the PCIM Podcast, host Prof. Marco Jung discusses the key applications of WBG power semiconductors with his guest Dr. Peter Friedrichs from Infineon and gives an outlook on the future. In addition to PV and electro mobility, uninterruptible power supplies are also mentioned and discussed as key innovation drivers.

Both particularly emphasize the advantages of WBG in the context of energy efficiency and resource efficiency. In addition to SiC semiconductors, GaN semiconductors and their possible areas of application will be discussed. Furthermore, Peter and Marco consider the step into the high-power class, but only with corresponding packaging concept.
