Onsemi acquires Qorvo’s silicon carbide JFET technology portfolio

US power and sensing technology specialist onsemi has completed its acquisition of the silicon carbide junction field-effect transistor (SiC JFET) technology business from US-based Qorvo for $115 million.

The addition of SiC JFET technology will complement onsemi’s EliteSiC power portfolio. In EVs, SiC JFETs help improve efficiency and safety by replacing multiple components with a solid-state switch in battery disconnect units.

“This acquisition further strengthens onsemi’s leadership in power semiconductors by providing disruptive and market leading technologies to our customers to solve their most pressing power density and efficiency problems in data centers, automotive and industrial markets,” said Simon Keeton, Group President and General Manager of onsemi’s Power Solutions Group.
