The anticipated widespread adoption of electric vehicles is poised to drive the expansion of the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market in the foreseeable future. Electric vehicles, characterized by an electric motor drawing power from an external battery, leverage Gallium Nitride (GaN) power semiconductors for efficient power transistors and integrated circuits. Meanwhile, Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductors offer notable advantages over silicon, such as 10 times the breakdown electric field strength and a threefold increase in band gap within electric vehicles. Notably, projections from the International Energy Outlook in October 2021 indicate an estimated 2.21 billion light-duty vehicles (LDVs) by 2050, with a 31% growth in electric and plug-in LDVs, reaching 672 million vehicles.
The rapid and extensive deployment of renewable energy sources is anticipated to be a significant driver for the growth of the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market. This deployment involves harnessing energy from sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy to generate electricity. GaN and SiC semiconductors stand out due to their higher efficiency, facilitating the seamless integration of renewable energy into the power grid. Supporting this, a report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in April 2023 highlights global photovoltaic installations reaching 231 gigawatts in 2022, with China leading the surge, contributing 42% to global demand and forecasting installations exceeding 300 GW by 2023 and surpassing 400 GW by 2025.
A prominent trend in the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market is the focus on technological advancements, with key industry players striving to develop cutting-edge solutions. Notably, in May 2022, Infineon Technologies, a prominent German semiconductor manufacturing company, unveiled its extended CoolSiC portfolio. This advanced silicon carbide (SiC) chip, featuring high-voltage solutions, is positioned as the foundation for the next generation. The technology introduces a low drain-source on resistance and offers ten times less FIT rate from cosmic rays compared to 1700 V SiC MOSFETs. Additionally, it provides an overvoltage tolerance, simplifying operation due to the wide functioning gate voltage range.
Major players within the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market are strategically focusing on innovative offerings, such as the groundbreaking G10-GaN, to enhance revenue streams. A notable example is Aixtron SE, a Germany-based technology company, which introduced the G10-GaN platform in September 2023. This revolutionary cluster solution is tailored for the high-volume production of GaN-based power and radiofrequency devices. The G10-GaN system aims to deliver twice the productivity per cleanroom area, ushering in a new level of material uniformity that provides customers with distinct competitive advantages.
