Infineon in power electronic market growth global first
                                                                          Release time ：2008-09-24

   In 2007, infineon technologies corporation (NYSE: FSE/IFX) in power electronic semiconductor devices and module field: separated showed up, further consolidate its global the first position. According to the market Research company, the latest survey IMS true: separated power components in the global infineon and the module market share increased to 9.7%. Infineon in 2007 about increased 23%, and global market, 9.3% and achieve 136 billion ($125 billion for 2006. The market research firm prediction: separated the next five years, power semiconductor and module market average annual growth will reach 8% to 9%.

"Although the 2007 market weakness has certain fears, but demand remains robust, many market grew significantly." IMS research company research director and "2008: separated power semiconductor devices and module" report Ash Sharma says joint lexicographer. "last year, infineon took notable achievement, growth over the global market, continuously five years on the throne is the biggest supplier."

"From energy generation to energy distribution and the consumption of the whole link, power semiconductors and module can reduce power dissipation and to the greatest extent improved energy efficiency." Infineon technologies Co., senior vice President and power management and drive products division general manager Arunjai Mittal, pointed out that "the infineon will continue to contribute to the development of this field and developed to improve energy efficiency and help increase the energy efficiency to the greatest extent of power semiconductor."

Improve power management efficiency can provide for the areas of energy, such as huge potential motor drive, power supply, computing devices, consumer products, lighting equipment and power semiconductors as improve fuel efficiency and emissions key components of the car.

Energy efficiency improvement led to one of the fastest growing application is installed on the roof and light the photovoltaic systems solar power inverter. Infineon with MOSFET (such as: separated IGBT CoolMOS?) And power module and stack can help will solar inverter efficiency improving to 98%, at the same time as more as possible will solar power transported to the grid. Forecasting the next five years, an IMS true solar inverter sales will be more than 20% annual growth.

The 2007 division power half guide devices and module market ranked no. 1

According to the market Research company released an IMS true "2008 division of power semiconductor and module global market" report (released in August 2008, 2007, total sales of global power semiconductor market about 136 billion dollars.

In 2007, the top five manufacturers:

1. Infineon technologies corporation: 9.7%
2. Stmicroelectronics: 7.4%
3. Fairchild company: 7.0% respectively
4. Jerry semiconductor: 6.8% from Wisconsin
5. Toshiba 6.6%
6. Other 62.5%
