In pursuit of a carbon-neutral society, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly advancing. In the core technology of EV drive systems, the inverter, the application of SiC power semiconductors, which enable low-loss operation, is highly anticipated and has already begun to be used in some EVs. In this presentation, we will introduce our company's development cases of SiC power semiconductors, particularly focusing on the SiC gas growth method, a low-cost and high-quality wafer manufacturing technology, while also discussing the perspective of carbon neutrality.
