Samsung restarts power chip business

According to the Korean e-news report, Samsung Electronics suffered patent litigation in the 1990s and the crisis of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In 1999, it decided to sell the factory and withdraw from the power chip business. After 12 years, Samsung again started the process. cause.

Since several years ago, with the center of Samsung Electronics Technology Institute as the center, related research on power chips has been launched. Samsung will also set up a special research center in 2011 to start developing specific commercial technologies. Samsung sees explosive growth every year and re-enters the power chip market. In addition to its diversified memory-based semiconductor business, it also plans to cultivate and develop its new business.

According to Samsung, the Samsung Integrated Technology Institute will set up the Power Device Center in 2011, and has conducted research on new technologies related to power chips and technology for developers. Recently, a special group has been set up within the Samsung Institute of Technology to establish a research center. The special group will also discuss related plans in the future in terms of technology development direction, marketability, ensuring manpower solutions, and linking with Samsung Group companies.

According to Samsung's related personnel, the Power Device Center will focus on Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) and will research new materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) in parallel. GaN and silicon carbide are areas where overseas power chip makers are rushing to secure technology and are highly competitive. If Samsung can develop the relevant technology first, it will be able to quickly ensure its competitiveness in this area.

Niobium nitride can be used as a substitute for niobium, which greatly reduces power consumption. The price of raw materials has recently fallen and the possibility of commercialization has increased. SAMSUNG Technical Institute has also invested in the research and development of Infineon, the leading power chip company, and jointly developed GaN original technology with Samsung Corning Precision Materials. In addition, for the purpose of research and development of power devices employing gallium nitride, an organic metal chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) platform was purchased from Veeco, a US semiconductor equipment maker.

In addition to GaN, Samsung is also developing technologies that use silicon carbide and can replace tantalum substrates, and is expected to be used in the development of high-voltage, large-capacity next-generation power chips.

Samsung sold the power chip business to Fairchild Semiconductor in 1999. After 12 years, Samsung plans to start the power chip business again. It is expected that it will cultivate new group businesses beyond memory and system chips. In particular, new green energy industries such as solar energy, wind power, Smart Grid, and electric vehicles are growing rapidly, and the demand for power chips is also expected to grow. The foreign power sources pointed out that the future power chip production capacity will have a considerable proportion. In the Samsung Group's energy, automotive, home appliances field.

According to the statistics of Japan's Yano Institute of Economic Research (YRI), the global power chip market will be approximately 14.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2010 and 15.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2011, and it will be expected to maintain an annual average growth rate of 11.5% by 2015. Even if the power chip market grows rapidly, due to the difficulty of securing new technologies, market competition is less intense than that of the memory industry.
