super junction mosfet report 2013 report by yole developpement
DESCRIPTION
A $1B market by 2018, forecast at 10.3% growth per year. Already eight new players in the last three years! SJ MOSFET is jumping from consumer power supplies to the renewable energy and industry segments It’s no secret: Consumer is SJ MOSFET’s main application segment, representing 2/3 of its total market. And while some applications are stagnant, i.e. Desktop PC and game console power supplies, most applications are still growing. The biggest growth area will be power supplies for tablets, with an expected 32% increase in CAGR from 2013 to 2018. However, the main products where SJ MOSFETs are used are PC (Desktop and laptop) power supplies and TV sets, which total half of the SJ MOSFET market as presented in this report. 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. 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.

Introduction How is This Report Built?
Why this report
• Today’s power semiconductor industry uses Silicon and has been waiting for compound materials for 10 years
• Silicon can still be improved and this is what has been done with the super junction structure, which was released 10 years ago and is catching more and more shares of the market
• Cost remains the main driver and highest performance technology will be widely used only at a reasonable cost
• Regulations (as EnergyStar) push for better efficiency, therefore fewer losses, and the industry can only integrate available technologies. SJ MOSFET is one of these available technologies, whereas compound semiconductor are not at mass production
• Several new players entered SJ MOS market within the last 36 months. It is a business with around 15 players, and two of them totalize around 85% of the market
• We have also seen new business models emerge, and unexpected players entering the game
• SJ technology is reaching higher voltages, and is trying to become a very high voltage technology
Super junction MOSFET is a subject as tremendous as SiC and GaN. It is part of the power semiconductor picture for the next ten years. It is to become a standard and to replace planar MOSFET in the future, and to be a perfect interim solution, before GaN’s availability.
The objective of this report is to clarify this situation and start thinking about the future market evolution when we include SJ MOS as a challenger in a more and more competitive power semiconductor devices market

Super Junction MOSFET Market Forecast 2010 – 2018
SJ MOS device market growth will stay between xx% and xx% until 2018. The recent power devices market instability (2011 huge growth followed by 2012 dropping) had a very light impact on SJ MOSFET sales. The shortage in place probably had buffered the demand decrease, added to the fact that SJ MOSFET trend is much better than other Silicon technologies. It is one of the youngest Silicon technology in place (1998).
