Magnachip launches 6th Gen 600V SJ MOSFET based on microfab tech
Date: 03/11/2023
Magnachip Semiconductor recently announced that the Company released its 6th-generation 600V Super Junction Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (SJ MOSFET) enhanced with microfabrication technology.
This 6th-generation 600V SJ MOSFET (MMD60R175S6ZRH) was developed using the 180nm microfabrication process and Magnachip's latest design technology. Magnachip said that the advanced technology used in this product has improved upon the previous generation of SJ MOSFETs by reducing the cell-pitches by 50% and lowering the RDS(on) by 42%. Despite these improvements, the MOSFET still comes in the same Decawatt Package (DPAK) and offers a low RDS(on) of 175mO and exceptional power density.
The previous generation's total gate charge is effectively reduced by approximately 29%, leading to a decrease in switching loss and an improvement in power efficiency. This product's power efficiency is indeed a prominent attribute, granting product designers the freedom to adapt it to diverse applications. Moreover, the inclusion of a Zener diode between the gate and the source fortifies the MOSFET's durability and dependability in real-world scenarios, shielding it from potential harm caused by external surges or electrostatic discharges.
Magnachip said that This new 600V SJ MOSFET offers exceptional efficiency, a versatile design, and unwavering reliability, making it an ideal choice for various applications including servers, OLED TVs, and laptop fast chargers. According to Omdia, a renowned global market research firm, the demand for servers is projected to experience an annual growth rate of 8% from 2023 to 2027. Additionally, the global shipments of OLED TVs are expected to rise by 11% each year, reaching a remarkable total of 9.3 million units by 2027.
"Following the launch of this MOSFET, Magnachip plans to unveil additional 6th-generation SJ MOSFETs, including those with a fast recovery body diode, in 2024," said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. "Aligned with customer demand, our technical innovation will further strengthen our industry presence and global market penetration."
