Magnachip expands MOSFET production
Magnachip Semiconductor has increased production of its 7th generation MXT LV MOSFETs, based on the company's Super Short Channel FET (SSCFET) technology.
In the first three quarters of 2024, production of these MOSFETs grew by approximately 120 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.
SSCFET technology reduces the channel length between the source and the drain during on-state operation, which enhances battery performance and efficiency, extends battery life and reduces overheating. The MOSFETs are manufactured using a 100μm-thin wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP) to provide enhanced design flexibility. This makes them well-suited for a wide range of mobile devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, wireless earphones and next-generation ring-shaped devices.
The MDWC0151ERH device has already been integrated into a premium smartphone model, according to Magnachip. Furthermore, the MDWC12D025ERH is now also being used in the manufacturer’s high-volume midrange model.
"Magnachip has established a strong collaborative relationship with a major global smartphone manufacturer,” said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. “Through continued technological development and innovation, we will strengthen our MXT LV MOSFET product family and target not only the mobile device market but also a variety of battery-powered devices, such as e-bikes, scooters, e-cigarettes and drones."
