The global energy demand is constantly growing. We need to increase the usage of renewables to reduce carbon emissions. This pushes the demand for efficient power semiconductors, as all types of energy conversion from source via grid to usage need power semiconductors. The markets for discrete IGBTs and for IGBT modules are growing each year by ~15%. The most competitive technology for IGBTs is based on 300mm silicon wafers.

• Power2Power will push the technical frontiers on high voltage, Si-based IGBTs to new dimensions: increased power density and improved robustness and reliability.
• Power2Power will show many power application systems, with higher energy efficiency, higher power density and in other respect: for usage in mobility, industry and grid.
• Power2Power will implement the latest knowledge and results of Industry4.0-aspects along the value chain.
• Power2Power results will be exploited in Europe in large scale productions: wafer substrate, wafer processing, module as well as assembly and packaging fabrication.
