Electrifying the Automotive Future: Power Semiconductors in the EV Revolution

Advantest Talks Semi

Are you ready to supercharge your knowledge on the electrifying transformation of the automotive semiconductor industry?
Fasten your seat belts for a high-octane conversation with Fabio Marino, managing director at CREA at Advantest in Italy and a trailblazer, as we drive through the accelerating shift towards green energy.
We’ll be zooming in on the rapid growth of the power semiconductor market and how it's turbocharging the EV demand. Get ready to rev up your understanding of power electronics technologies like IGBTs, insulated gate bipolar transistors, silicon carbide, and gallium nitride as we put them head-to-head, comparing their specifications and power capacities.
Also, we’ll shed light on how the semiconductor industry is navigating the switch from package to bare die testing, examining how it challenges the delivery of kiloamps or kilovolts through a probe card whilst maintaining efficiency and reliability.
Lastly, diving into the battery testing arena, we will make sense of the implications of long lead times for probers and handlers and touch down on the maturity of silicon carbide technology and the potential influence of automated tools and the market.
So buckle up, relax, and join us as we journey through the electrifying world of automotive semiconductors.
