RIR Power Electronics Unveils 1200V SiC Devices to Boost EV and Energy Applications

RIR Power Electronics Ltd. has expanded its semiconductor offerings with the introduction of advanced 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, aimed at enhancing efficiency and performance across next-generation power electronics systems. The launch marks a significant step in strengthening solutions for sectors such as electric mobility, renewable energy, and industrial infrastructure.

The newly launched SiC MOSFETs are designed for a wide range of applications, including electric vehicle onboard chargers, EV charging infrastructure, traction inverters, megawatt charging systems, solar inverters, energy storage solutions, and industrial equipment. These components are expected to deliver improved reliability and energy efficiency in high-demand environments.

In addition to MOSFETs, the company has also introduced Merged-PiN Schottky (MPS) diodes, developed for high-performance use cases such as electric and hybrid vehicles, data centres, AI-driven infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and grid applications. These diodes are engineered to offer superior thermal management and durability, which are critical in advanced power systems.

Commenting on the development, Harshad Mehta, Non-Executive Chairman of the company, stated that the addition of 1200V SiC MOSFETs enhances RIR’s capability to deliver high-performance silicon carbide solutions tailored for emerging power applications. He emphasized that the technology will play a key role in supporting rapidly evolving sectors like electric vehicles, data centres, and clean energy.

With over five decades of expertise in high-power semiconductor technology, RIR Power Electronics continues to maintain a strong position in the domestic market, backed by its in-house fabrication capabilities for high-voltage devices.

The company is also working on establishing a silicon carbide manufacturing facility in Odisha. This upcoming campus is expected to create an integrated ecosystem covering design, wafer processing, packaging, and application development, thereby supporting India’s growing demand for advanced semiconductor solutions across mobility, energy, and industrial domains.
