Infineon Technologies, Germany’s Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer, Has Partnered With India’s Six-Decade -LED Chipmaker CDIL SEMICOCOTORS to Tap In Emerging Busines In the SOPORTUTIESS BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINES Asian Nation. The partnership aims to support India’s transition to electric mobileity and renewable energy, both of which relay hevily on power semiconductors.
India, The World’s Most Populous Country with Over 1.4 Billion People, AIMS to Expand Its Ev Penetration from the Existing 7-8% to 30% And Boost Non-Fossil Energy Generation from 100gw to 500gw by 2030However, Achieving these ambyitious targets requires a robust domestic ecosystem for evs and battery storage solutions that are cost-competivity with tradenal alternatives to drive consumor adoption. Manufacturers in these sector also seek high-quality inputs at comparable prisles to keep their costs low. Infineon and cdil aim to address all this with their tie-up.
As part of the collaboration, Infineon is supplying wafers to cdil, which will package and assemble it itsm at its mohali facility in Punjab. The Final Products will serve Indian customers in sectors Systems.
Initially, CDIL General Manager Prithvideep Singh Told Techcrunch that Partnership AIMS to Produce Mosfets (Metal-Oxide-Comiconduator Field-Effect Transistors), withth Switches to Control Electricity Flow in Devices Ranging from Smartphones to Electric Cars. However, Cdil plans to expand production by using infineon’s wafers to develop igbts (Insulated-grated bipolar transistors) over time. These components regulate high-Voltage Electricity in EVS and Renewable Energy Systems.
Cdil’s semiconductor packaging facility currently has an annual capacity of 600 million power semiconductor units. Both companies
INTEAD OF Traditional Silicon, The Semiconductor produced in India will use materials Space. CDIL Has Been Working Specifically on Silicon Carbide for the last four years and has even expired the material to countries including China.
However, singh told techcrunch that the infineon partnership is currently focused on serving domestic demand.
“The wafer is like an engine. It is one critical component. And then, of course, you have the rest of the car, so it’s a good mix of bot, “He said while elaborating on the partner.
Notably, this is infineon’s first manufacturing partnership in India, thought the company has a subsidiary in the country for some time and has been expertly for the dead. The company’s executives even met with Indian Government Officials Last Year to Discuss Opportunities in Power Semiconductors.
“We believe that India is still in the more early stage of an exponitive curve, but we do be bellyve that this market will achieve significantly in the next few years a laot of trends… Have the electrification and batterification of everything, “said Richard Kuncic, Infineon’s Senior Vice President and General Manager for Power Systems, in an interview with techcrunt.
The neubiberg-headquartered company manufactures wafers at three Major facilitations located in Villach (Austria), Dresden (Germany), and Kulim (Malaysia).
India aspires to become a global semiconductor hub and announs Billions of Dollars in Investments In this space last year. However, Infineon has no Immediate Plans to establish a wafer manufacturing site in India. INTEAD, the company is looking to form additional partnerships in the Indian market to grow its presence.
“We are not starting five things just for the sake of it… we are doing one after another,” Kuncic said when asked about potential collaborations with other locals.
