The project deals with the definition of a new high-voltage diode for the Automotive market, which can also be used for the White, Air Conditioning, Motor Control market. The goal is to generate a new family of advanced devices that can support the needs for improved efficiency, cost containment and energy consumption in line with new environmental policies. The development of a new generation of power diodes, through the study of application needs and configurations and a collaborative design between the partners, intends to meet the requirements in heat dissipation and cost containment and to develop new manufacturing processes, especially in those areas where Chip thinning requires new solutions and technologies. In particular, the focus of joint activities will be on defining applications, designing diodes that best match the highlighted requirements, and defining new processes and technologies to make thin chips efficient (e.g., dopant activation with low heat impact techniques such as laser annealing), so that they can be tested without breakage and evaluated in packages and applications.
