Leveraging its independently developed 8-inch silicon carbide process platform, Corelink Semiconductor has officially introduced a 3300V SiC MOSFET device. This device is specifically engineered for high-voltage applications, including solid-state transformers. Samples have already been dispatched to key customers for verification purposes. The product employs high-voltage planar gate technology to strike an optimal balance between conduction and switching performance. This is achieved by fine-tuning the cell area and enhancing the figure of merit (FOM) for on-resistance and gate charge. Taking the front end of a 10kV medium-voltage solid-state transformer as an illustration, when compared to a 1200V solution, the 3300V device can elevate the bus voltage to a range of 1800~2200V. This elevation enables a reduction in the number of cascaded stages by 60%, a decrease in the total number of power units and MOSFETs by 60%, and a cut in peripheral components by approximately 70%. Additionally, it simplifies PCB design and lowers the overall system-level Bill of Materials (BOM) cost by 20% to 35%. This advancement provides crucial support for the evolution of solid-state transformers towards higher switching frequencies, more compact sizes, and enhanced conversion efficiency. Corelink Semiconductor has now completed its comprehensive product lineup for SiC MOSFETs, covering the full voltage spectrum from 650V to 3300V. The next-generation SiC G2.0 process platform has achieved significant breakthroughs in energy efficiency and reliability, with the 8-inch SiC production line now in full-scale mass production. Given the escalating demand for AI computing power and the expanding market for solid-state transformers, the necessity for mass production of high-voltage SiC devices is evident. Corelink Semiconductor is capitalizing on this product to penetrate the burgeoning market of solid-state transformers, propelling the transition of domestic high-voltage SiC devices from being mere 'followers' to becoming 'definers' in the industry.
