China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute is deeply engaged in third-generation semiconductors and promotes the industrialization of silicon carbide.

China News Service, Beijing, September 23 (Reporter Sun Zifa) China Electronics Technology recently held a "Walking with Light" media open event with the theme of "Connecting Everything with Optics and Creating the Future with Intelligence". The reporter learned from the interview that as an important birthplace of China's semiconductor industry, China Electronics Technology Basic Research Institute is deeply involved in the third-generation semiconductor innovation track, continues to promote silicon carbide product technology research and industrialization, and has opened up a complete system from silicon carbide products to scene applications.

Form a complete product matrix

Based on silicon carbide products to build new competitive advantages in power semiconductors, China Electronics Industry Basic Research Institute has blossomed in many aspects such as technological breakthroughs, industrial development, and collaborative implementation of computing and computing, providing hard-core device support for the construction of new energy vehicles, new energy storage, industrial power supplies, and new power systems.

According to the project R&D team of China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute, the transition from traditional silicon-based power devices to silicon carbide third-generation semiconductors has brought about profound changes in the industrial structure and economic benefits. In the past silicon module era, products mainly met basic power conversion needs, and competition among products was fierce. After the rise of the silicon carbide product business, it has become an important growth pole for the development of the institute, driving the overall industrial efficiency to improve quality and efficiency, and opening up a new growth curve.

At present, China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute has achieved large-scale industrial development of silicon carbide products. Focusing on diverse market needs, it has built a complete product spectrum, covering new energy vehicle main drive silicon carbide modules, solid-state transformers and solid-state circuit breakers special modules, high-frequency industrial power modules and other categories. It can adapt to multiple power levels and multiple types of application scenarios, forming a complete product matrix.

The R&D team pointed out that with the current rapid expansion of computing infrastructure, the demand for high-efficiency, low-loss power devices in data centers and computing hubs has surged. In the context of the era of computing power collaboration, China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute continues to deepen two-way collaboration with computing power companies and power companies, customize silicon carbide products on demand, and provide core hardware bases for computing power supplies, energy storage converters, and solid-state transformers.

At the same time, we work with users to jointly develop new power equipment such as solid-state transformers to achieve in-depth collaboration from device supply to joint research and development and solution co-creation. By opening up the demand links of the two major industries of computing power and electric power, we will help the implementation of "power computing and computing power" and serve the in-depth integrated development of digital infrastructure and energy systems.

Deeply explore key application markets

As the source of China's original technologies for semiconductors, sensors and microsystems, and integrated circuits, China Electronics Industry Basic Research Institute is the backbone of the development of the digital economy industry. It has formed a product supply chain from materials, chips, components, integrated microsystems to packaging, and strongly supports various types of equipment such as manned spaceflight, lunar and Mars exploration, Beidou networking, and the development needs of the digital economy industry represented by 5G base stations, new energy vehicles, optical communications, etc.

During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute will focus on making the silicon carbide module industry bigger and stronger, continue to iteratively upgrade new generation manufacturing processes, and deeply explore key application markets such as new energy, new power grids, and computing infrastructure.

Facing the future, the institute will continue to give full play to its innovative advantages, polish the comprehensive performance of silicon carbide devices, build a solid foundation for the industrial chain, and deeply explore strategic tracks such as new energy vehicles, new energy storage, and computing collaboration, to help China's third-generation semiconductor silicon carbide industry achieve high-level technological independence and self-reliance.

It is reported that the China Electronics Technology Basic Research Institute was established with the 13th Institute of China Electronics Technology as the main body. The 13th Institute has been engaged in semiconductor research since its establishment in 1956. In the past 70 years, it has created more than 60 domestic firsts and achieved more than 3,100 scientific research results.
