The dynamics in the automotive industry especially towards car electrification is reaching a tipping point where power semiconductors are at the heart of strategic discussions from car OEMs to system suppliers. HV semiconductors based on wide bandgap materials like SiC & GaN embrace such changes in the demanding automotive applications. The aim of the session is to provide ST’s latest developments in SiC technology, packaging & products from power electronics system designers’ perspective while highlighting ST’s ambitious vertical integration capabilities. A snapshot on industrialization (FE & BE) efforts & footprint expansion activities accelerating WBG adoption and quality programs will also be discussed. To conclude an overview of tools & supporting ecosystem for customers will be briefed
