onsemi has signed a deal for silicon carbide with automotive supplier BorgWarner that is worth over $1bn over the lifetime.
BorgWarner will integrate onsemi EliteSiC 1200 V and 750 V power devices into its VIPER power modules for traction inverter designs to increase the performance of electric vehicles.

- Power drives $3.3bn BorgWarner takeover of Delphi
“First and foremost, onsemi’s continuous and strategic investment in ramping SiC manufacturing capacity across its end-to-end supply chain gives us confidence in our ability to support the increasing demand for our solutions, now and in the future,” said Stefan Demmerle, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems.
BorgWarner’s silicon carbide traction inverters already offer higher efficiency, better cooling performance, and faster-charging rates in a more compact package than other options for EVs. The EliteSiC technology will provide increased power density and higher efficiency, which increase the range and overall performance of EVs.

“The integration of EliteSiC technology in the traction inverter enables increased gas-equivalent miles per gallon (MPGe), which helps alleviate range anxiety – one of the key barriers to EV adoption,” said Simon Keeton, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Power Solutions Group, onsemi. “With onsemi’s chip-to-system level support and a track record of execution, we are able to provide industry-leading SiC-based solutions to BorgWarner at an accelerated pace to support its go-to-market requirements.”
