Infineon Technologies AG and Schweizer Electronic AG have joined forces to create an innovative solution for directly embedding Infineon’s 1200 V CoolSiC™ chips onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) to enhance chip efficiency and increase the range of electric vehicles, and reduce system costs. The two companies will showcase their 1200 V CoolSiC chip embedding technology at PCIM Europe 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Infineon and Schweizer Electronic have collaborated to directly embed 1200 V CoolSiC™ chips onto PCBs. Experts anticipate that this collaboration will increase the range of electric vehicles. They will showcase the 1200 V CoolSiC chip embedding technology at PCIM Europe 2023 in Nuremberg, with Infineon exhibiting at booth 412 in Hall 7 and Schweizer at booth 410 in Hall 6.
The two companies have demonstrated the potential of this new approach by embedding a 48 V MOSFET in the PCB. Thus, resulting in a 35% increase in performance. Schweizer’s innovative p²Pack® solution has been instrumental in this success, enabling power semiconductors to be embedded in PCBs.
Schweizer Electronic AG’s VP of Technology, Thomas Gottwald, said “Infineon’s electrically tested S-Cells yield high overall results in manufacturing. The p² Pack allows for low-inductance interconnection, optimizing the fast-switching characteristics of CoolSiC chips. As a result, there is higher efficiency and more reliable power conversion units, including DC-DC converters, on-board chargers, and inverters.”
Schweizer Electronic AG is a leading provider of cutting-edge technology and consultancy expertise in the PCB industry. The company’s state-of-the-art production facilities in Schramberg, Germany, and Jintan, China, coupled with close partnerships with other technology leaders, enable Schweizer to provide individual PCB and embedding solutions for various applications, including the automotive, aviation, industry and medical, and communications and computing sectors. Christoph Schweizer founded the company in 1849, and it’s listed on the Stuttgart and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges as “SCE”.
