SMIC is a leading characteristic process wafer foundry enterprise in China, mainly engaged in wafer foundry and module packaging testing in the fields of MEMS and power devices. The company has advanced technology and manufacturing capability in the field of silicon carbide (SiC), and it is the only company in China that can realize large-scale mass production of silicon carbide MOS.
In order to promote the rapid development of silicon carbide business, SMIC invested in the establishment of Xinlian Power Technology (Shaoxing) Co., Ltd., focusing on the process research and development, production and sales of compound semiconductors such as silicon carbide. The investors of Xinlian Power include head enterprises and popular investment institutions in the new energy industry, such as Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd., Sunshine Power, SAIC and so on.
Advantages and characteristics of silicon carbide in the field of charging;
1, high temperature performance: Silicon carbide has excellent high temperature performance and can run stably in high temperature environment. In the charging pile, because the charging process will produce higher temperature, silicon carbide can better withstand the high temperature environment and improve the reliability and life of the charging pile.
2. High power density: Silicon carbide has high electron migration speed and low resistance, which enables it to withstand higher current and voltage in power devices and achieve high power density. In the charging pile, the use of silicon carbide devices can provide higher charging power and realize fast charging.
3. Long service life: Silicon carbide devices have high withstand voltage and electron bombardment resistance, which makes them have longer service life and better reliability. Using silicon carbide devices in charging piles can reduce the failure rate and prolong the service life of charging piles.
