Discrete device designer and manufacturer Nexperia of Nijmegen, the Netherlands has entered into a strategic partnership with automotive supplier KOSTAL of Lüdenscheid, Germany.
- Their partnership will focus on producing advanced semiconductors called wide-bandgap (WBG) devices, which are crucial for improving the efficiency and performance of electric cars.
- The two will initially concentrate on developing SiC MOSFETs for onboard chargers in electric vehicles.
- Nexperia's expertise in WBG technologies, particularly SiC, will be crucial in enhancing the performance and efficiency of KOSTAL's automotive products.
- KOSTAL will provide real-world data from EV charging applications, enabling Nexperia to refine its device designs and optimize performance.
- The collaboration aims to expand both companies' product portfolios, particularly in the growing electric vehicle market.
- By developing advanced power electronics solutions, Nexperia and KOSTAL are contributing to the acceleration of electric vehicle adoption.
- While the partnership is between European companies, it could indirectly lead to job creation in Asia Pacific, particularly in regions with strong semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
- Increased demand for WBG devices may drive investments in production facilities and research and development centers.
- The collaboration between Nexperia and KOSTAL highlights the growing importance of the semiconductor industry, especially in the automotive sector. It underscores the need for continued innovation and investment in advanced semiconductor technologies to meet the demands of the future.
