to design SiC and GaN devices into systems of tomorrow,
thus creating a more energy-efficient future." JEDEC Presi-
dent John Kelly adds, "The formation of the JC-70 commit-
tee is part of an ongoing effort within JEDEC to extend our
standards setting expertise to new technologies to meet
market demands. We welcome all interested companies to
participate in the development of open industry standards
within JEDEC." At the first meeting in October 2017, com-
mittee and subcommittee chairs included member com-
pany representatives from Infineon Technologies, Texas
Instruments, Transphorm, and Wolfspeed, a Cree Com-
pany. These multinational corporations and several tech-
nology start-ups from the United States, Europe, and Asia
are all working together to bring to the industry a set of
standards for reliability, testing, and parametrics of WBG
power semiconductors.
While applications like power factor correction (PFC),
power supplies, and photovoltaic (PV) inverters are cur-
rently driving the adoption of SiC devices, future growth
in adoption will be driven by xEV-related applications,
such as the electrification of automobiles, rail, and other
modes of transportation. According to Yole, the xEV charg-
ing infrastructure market is growing and rapidly adopt-
ing SiC devices. Leading Chinese xEV supplier Build Your
Dreams, better known as BYD, has confirmed its use of SiC
devices in its onboard chargers. Similarly, in Europe, the
Micropower Group and ABB have unveiled industrial bat-
tery chargers based on SiC devices.
Revenue (US$ Million)
In the next five years, IHS expects
a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of more than 20% for SiC
power devices. At this rate, the mar-
ket will grow from roughly US$266
million in 2016 to approximately
US$1 billion in 2022. By 2020, Eden
predicts that "all Chinese-made dc-
dc converters for powertrain and
onboard chargers for HEVs/EVs will
incorporate SiC devices."
Likewise, the production of GaN-
on-silicon power transistors is ris-
ing, and GaN power modules are
beginning to emerge. As a result,
the IHS market study suggests that
GaN power devices will experience
a CAGR of nearly 30% in next five
years. GaN sales revenues will likely
increase from US$27 million in 2016
to approximately US$320 million in
2022 (Figure 1). Driving this growth,
which is expected to start accelerat-
ing in 2020, are power supplies for
consumer goods, including those in
laptops and TVs.
Like IHS, Yole is optimistic about
the growth, especially of SiC devices.
Yole's business unit manager, Pierric Gueg-
