Abstract
Explosive Growth in Next-Generation Power Semiconductors Expected Says The Information Network
New Tripoli, PA, November 15, 2011 . . . . Traditional silicon-based
power semiconductors are reaching their theoretical limitations. Fortunately
because of their superior material properties, wide-bandgap power
semiconductor devices (SiC [silicon carbide] and GaN [gallium nitride]) can
offer performances orders-of-magnitude better than silicon devices. As a
result, they are widely expected to be the next generation power devices,
according to a new report, Next-Generation Power Semiconductors: Markets
Materials, Technologies recently published by The Information Network, a New
Tripoli, PA market research company.
“The commercial battle for next-generation power semiconductors is
evolving. As a result, many semiconductor manufacturers are attempting to
enter the market”, - noted Dr. Robert Castellano, president of The
Information Network. “Already it's a $50 million market, although small
compared to the $14 billion silicon-based power semiconductor market”.
We see insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and power
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) as the main growth
drivers. We project 3.7% average annual growth of the power semiconductor
market over the next three years, from $14.2 billion in 2011 (+6% y-y) to
$16.7 billion in 2013. We look for strongest growth from IGBTs, although power
MOSFETs had the largest market share in 2010 due to its fast switching speed,
near-perfect gate impedance, fast switching speed, excellent stability, and a
relatively low on-state resistance.
Because of their attractive performances, wide-bandgap power semiconductor
devices have been under intense R&D. In development since the early 1990s, SiC
material for power device applications has gone through the longest period and
come furthest in terms of maturity and reliability.
We project the next-generation power semiconductor will exhibit a compound
annual growth rate of 72% between 2010 and 2015, reaching values of more than
$500 million.
Benefiting from the growth of these wide-bandgap devices will be processing
equipment. Significant improvements on the technique of growing GaN material
on Si substrates have enabled high quality, crack-free GaN epi layers grown on
Si, overcoming the 17% crystal mismatch between the two materials crystal
faces. For GaN epitaxy on Si or SiC, Veeco and Aixtron will benefit and grow
strongly, utilizing their expertise in LED epitaxy.
Silicon MOSFETs use wirebonding and traditional SO or TO packages. GaN on
Silicon can be bonded using flip chip. Companies benefiting would be
equipment suppliers to the flip chip industry, such as NeXX Systems.

預測下一代電力半導體市場將爆炸性成長
2011年12月14日
Global Information, Inc.已開始銷售The Information Network所發行的報告書「Next-Generation Power Semiconductors: Markets Materials, Technologies (新一代功率半導體:市場、材料、技術)」
以矽為基本的原有電力半導體已接近理論上的界限,以優異的材料特性及具備寬廣帶隙(Band gap)的炭化矽(SiC)和氮化鎵(GaN)為基本的電力半導體要素,提供比硅基本要素差別更大且更佳的性能,受到大眾期待其能成為下一代的電力設備。
Information Network的Dr. Robert Castellano敘述:「在下一代電力半導體的市場展開戰鬥,結果許多半導體製造商以進入市場作為目標。」。
「與140億美元規模的矽電力半導體市場比較,雖然微不足道,然下一代電力半導體市場已經成為5,000萬美元規模的市場。」
其中絕緣閘雙極晶體管(IGBT)和電力MOSFET已成為市場擴大的原動力。
預計電力半導體的市場規模將從2011年的142億美元(比前一年增加6%)擴大到2013年的167億美元,期間年平均成長率為3.7%。
藉由高速開關、幾近完美的閥門阻抗、出色的安定性、以及較低的導通電阻,2010年電力MOSFET佔了最大的市占率,預測今後IGBT將強力成長。
由於具備富有魅力的性能,正如火如荼進行有關廣帶隙電力半導體的研究開發。
自1990年代初期以來,電力設備應用系統用的SiC材,繼續長期開發,迄今成熟度和可靠性已達全速前進階段。
Information Network預測下一代電力半導體市場將從2010年到2015年以複合年成長率72%擴大,2015年時達到5億美元以上規模。
