Glossary

Wide Bandgap Semiconducto
A semiconductor made from materials with much wider energy band gaps than traditional silicon semiconductors. Due to this wide band gap, wide bandgap semiconductors are suitable for use in high-temperature, high-voltage, and high-frequency environments, enabling efficient power conversion and low energy loss.

 

SiC
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor material composed of silicon and carbon, known for its stability at high temperatures and voltages, as well as its high thermal conductivity. It is being increasingly used in various industries such as power conversion devices, electric vehicle drive systems, and applications requiring high durability. SiC contributes to improving energy efficiency and is considered essential for future technological innovations.

 

Power Semiconductor
Semiconductor devices used for power conversion and control, handling high voltage and large current.

 

Green Transformation (GX)
The process by which economies and societies transition to environmentally friendly and sustainable forms, gaining attention as a means to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
