Power SiC 2016: Materials, Devices, Modules, and Applications - 2016 Report b...Yole Developpement
More confident and more prepared, power SiC is progressing at a 2015 - 2021 CAGR of 19%!
SiC power is diffusing into multiple application segments
When the first SiC diode was launched in 2001, the industry questioned the future of the SiC power business: Will it grow? Is this a real business? 15 years later, in 2016, people don’t ask these questions anymore. The SiC power business is concrete and real, with a promising outlook. The SiC power market (diode and transistor included) is estimated to be more than $200M in 2015 and forecasted to be more than $550M in 2021, with a 2015 - 2021 CAGR of 19%. Not surprisingly, the power factor correction (PFC) power supply market is still the leading application, consuming a large volume of diodes.
Photovoltaics (PV) inverters are close behind. SiC diodes and MOSFETs are now used by various PV inverter manufacturers in their products. It has been confirmed that SiC implementation provides several performance benefits: increased efficiency, reduced size and weight. In addition, it allows to low cost at the system level in certain power range. Yole Développement has received increasingly positive feedback from the market, and we expect other manufacturers to follow in the footsteps of the early adopters, leading to a rapid expansion of the PV segment in the coming years.

With strong price pressure and a very strong leader, how will the power electronics market and landscape evolve in the future?
Vehicle hybridization is pulling the power electronics market
The 21st century is full of challenges to overcome, including population growth, reducing CO2 emissions and developing energy sources to replace liquid fuel. Power electronics will play a key part in solving these problems. Among the applications Yole Développement follows, motor drives are helping increase motor efficiency, photovoltaics and wind turbines continue expand their role in energy supply, and rail networks are moving more people. But one application stands out thanks to the huge volumes involved: electric vehicles. In the 2000s MOSFETs drove growth, and in the early 2010s it was renewable energy. The late 2010s and 2020s could be the golden era for electric vehicles, if customers adopt it and governments keep on subsidizing the field.
2015 has been a difficult year for the power electronics market, with the global value of power ICs, power modules and discrete components decreasing from $15.7 billion to $15.2 billion, a 3% drop. This fall is explained mainly by strong Average Selling Price (ASP) decreases at IGBT module level. We expect this ASP trend to continue, mainly because of price pressure from the automotive market. But overall IGBT module and global power electronics market value should increase, as volume growth outweighs this ASP fall. The automotive market will strengthen its position, as we expect electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) to represent a major part of the IGBT module market by 2021. Over this time the power MOSFET market is expected to grow slightly for all applications, going from $1 billion to $1.2 billion value.
10 Ways Your Boss Kills Employee MotivationOfficevibe
It’s so hard to have engaged employees. It’s such a delicate thing to try and get right because employees can be fragile.
As a manager, you have to do everything in your power to make sure employees are happy and engaged at all times.
Usually, the problem is the boss, and not things like the company, mission statement, or co-workers.
If you know that your boss is the biggest problem, there are ten things that they do to kill motivation. If you’re a manager and you’re reading this, make sure you avoid these mistakes to ensure that your employees are engaged during work.
The secret to good leadership is to be authentic. Be honest with your staff.

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
