Making green energy happen

 A growing world population, billions of connected devices, mobility fueled by electric power – the appetite for energy is increasing. To improve the world’s climate balance and our future quality of life, we have to find solutions that handle energy more intelligently and efficiently at all stages of the electrical energy chain: energy generation, its transmission and storage as well as consumption. This chain cannot be implemented without semiconductor technology; only semiconductor technology enables energy efficiency along this chain in every single section.

For 40 years now Infineon has been working on these challenges. As the market leader for power semiconductors we have comprehensive solutions at hand and are investing in innovation. Our semiconductor technologies help minimize losses, enable higher device and application performance and use energy responsibly. We make green energy happen.

Infineon pioneers world’s first 300 mm power gallium nitride (GaN) technology                –  an industry game-changer

• Infineon will shape the rapidly growing GaN market with this groundbreaking GaN 300 mm technology
• Infineon leverages existing large scale 300 mm silicon manufacturing to maximize capital efficiency in GaN production
• 300 mm GaN will help achieve cost parity with silicon over time

Infineon has succeeded in developing the world’s first 300 mm power gallium nitride (GaN) wafer technology. Infineon is the first company in the world to master this groundbreaking technology in an existing and scalable high-volume manufacturing environment. The breakthrough will help substantially drive the market for GaN-based power semiconductors. Chip production on 300 mm wafers is technologically more advanced and significantly more efficient compared to 200 mm wafers, since the bigger wafer diameter offers 2.3 times more chips per wafer. Watch video

The power transmission over long distances, distribution systems for short distances and energy storage systems for energy from renewable sources are essential to cover the growing energy need.

Infineon power semiconductors enable all these functions in the most efficient manner. Reducing losses along the transmission and distribution process is key to optimize the global energy flow. Eventually energy storage systems will become the backbone of the electrical era.

Stable and reliable.
