A $1B market by 2018, forecast at 10.3% growth per year. Already eight new players in the last three years!

The driver for using SJ MOSFET in these applications is, first and foremost, size reduction. SJ MOSFET allows for a much smaller size than planar MOSFET, since they generate less heat. The Hybrid and Electric car markets should not be ignored. True, they are less than $5M today, but they will represent more than $100M by 2018.

The technology used for Super Junction MOSFET is of two types. The first one, developed by Infineon, uses a series of epitasis and doping to create a locally doped island in the epi-layer.

The doped region then diffuses and creates an N-doped pillar. The second technology uses deep. This report clarifies the situation of SJ MOSFET in EV/HEV markets, and shows how SJ MOSFET will be used in DC/DC converters and chargers and how it provides accurate market metrics.

Industrial applications are less interested in SJ MOSFET use, since these applications do not require a high frequency of switching when operating in an H-bridge. SJ MOSFET is interesting only for specific topologies such as multi-level, or for cheap, low-power solutions (small UPS, residential PV) - but even in these applications, planar MOSFET or IGBTs remain better solutions since they are cheaper and meet all requirements.

In summary, SJ MOSFET is currently employed mostly for high-end solutions.
