Power Discrete and Modules Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Requirement for SiC-Based Power Devices AC to Drive Growth of the Market

IGBT type power modules are specifically designed for managing high currents. The power modules utilize Si IGBT paired with fast recovery diodes (FRDs). Numerous manufacturers have begun offering innovative modules that combine SiC MOSFETs with SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). These modules reduce switching losses from IGBT tail current and FRD recovery loss. Sic models have enhanced power supply efficiency and basic cooling methods, as well as reduced peripheral components due to their high-frequency operation. SiC-MOSFET has a higher capability of switching at high speeds compared to Si-IGBT used in current power modules.

There is an increasing demand for SiC power modules in the aerospace industry. Thales Group has created specialized power modules to fulfill the requirements of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and More Electric Aircraft (MEA). The COTS Aero power module from the company is a complete SiC leg power module specifically designed for DC/AC power conversion applications up to 260 kW at altitudes reaching 44,000 feet in non-pressurized zones. The demand for SiC MOSFET power modules is growing because of their high-frequency and highly efficient performance in 3-phase solar inverters, batteries, and UPS management.

Growing Use of Electric Vehicles (EVs)

The need for power electronics in EV systems, specifically power discrete and modules for inverters and converters, is increasing due to the growing number of people worldwide transitioning to electric vehicles.
