Cree to build silicon carbide device manufacturing facility in New York
Silicon carbide manufacturer Cree plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Marcy, New York. The fabrication facility for 200 mm power and radio frequency wafers, which will have a footprint of 480,000 square feet upon completion, will help increase capacity for the company’s Wolfspeed SiC and GaN business. The facility is the result of… Read more »
Liquid cooling in electric vehicles: What to know to keep EVs on the go
Sponsored By CPC The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing, but not as quickly as many may think. Fast, efficient and accessible charging is a major barrier to the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly as it relates to longer-distance trips. The current range of today’s electric vehicles is about 200-250… Read more »
Delphi and Cree partner on silicon carbide devices
Delphi Technologies and Cree have partnered to use Cree’s silicon carbide semiconductor technology in Delphi’s electronic systems for EVs. The partnership will combine Cree’s silicon carbide-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with Delphi’s traction drive inverters and DC/DC converters and chargers, aiming to extend driving range and provide faster charging times. To start, Cree’s MOSFETs will… Read more »
South Dakota university to create international center for solid-state batteries
The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology plans to establish an international center to develop solid-state batteries. Associate Professor Alevtina Smirnova says the solid-state batteries developed at the new Center for Green Solid-State Electric Power Generation and Storage (CEPS) will be ideal for portable and medical applications, electric grids and the automotive industry.
