ROHM launches EcoSiC brand for products using silicon carbide
Japan-based power semiconductor device maker ROHM Co Ltd has launched its EcoSiC brand as a trademark for products using silicon carbide (SiC).
The launch of the EcoSiC brand pursues several strategic objectives:
- Improved performance: SiC devices enable higher switching frequencies and lower losses, leading to more efficient and compact systems.
- Sustainability: Promoting eco-friendly products – such as carbon-neutral SiC technologies – significantly reduces energy consumption in applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.
- Technological innovation: Positioning ROHM as a leading company in the development and manufacture of SiC products. ROHM is investing in R&D to improve the performance of SiC components. Also, ROHM is expanding its production capacities to meet the increasing demand for SiC components.
The EcoSiC logo is part of ROHM's ‘Power Eco Family’ branding concept, which aims to maximize the efficiency and compactness of electronic applications while making a positive contribution to the environment. The EcoGaN brand has already been in use since 2022, supporting ROHM’s growing portfolio of power devices using gallium nitride and its properties in terms of switching speed. ROHM will also add high-performance silicon products to the Eco family in the future.
