On April 10th, KSTAR announced via its official WeChat account that it would further deepen its strategic cooperation with global semiconductor giant Infineon. According to the agreement, Infineon will provide KSTAR with a comprehensive suite of power semiconductor solutions, including 1200V CoolSiC MOSFETs and CoolSiC diodes, 650V CoolSiC MOSFET devices, and EiceDRIVER series single-channel magnetically isolated drivers. This collaboration aims to drive technological breakthroughs in KSTAR’s high-power, high-frequency Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, enhancing its competitiveness in the high-end power supply market.
This collaboration marks a new phase in the partnership between the two companies in the power semiconductor sector. As a global leader in power semiconductor supply, Infineon’s CoolSiC technology is renowned for its high efficiency and reliability, making it particularly suitable for high-power power electronics equipment.
KSTAR, as a leading enterprise in the domestic UPS power supply industry, is expected to significantly enhance the energy efficiency and power density of its UPS products by introducing Infineon’s advanced silicon carbide (SiC) devices, further solidifying its market position in high-end application scenarios such as data centers and industrial automation.
Industry analysts note that this collaboration not only reflects KSTAR’s proactive strategy in technological innovation but also mirrors the global trend of accelerating the upgrade of the power semiconductor industry to third-generation semiconductors (SiC/GaN). Leveraging their performance advantages in high-temperature, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications, SiC devices are gradually replacing traditional silicon-based devices and becoming core components in high-power power electronics equipment. KSTAR’s deep collaboration with Infineon will help it seize the commanding heights of next-generation efficient power technology and provide a model case for the upgrading of the domestic power electronics industry chain.
