• This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data,manufacturing cost and selling price of the Transphorm TPH3002PS.

• The TPH3002PS is the first GaN-on-silicon HEMT high voltage from Transphorm. With a breakdownvoltage of 600V for a current of 6A at 100°C, the module is optimized for:

• High frequency operation and dv/dt• Compact DC-DC converters• AC motor drives• Battery chargers• Switch mode power supplies

• The TPH3002PS is an Cascode transistor with a GaN on Silicon HEMT for the high voltage and the highfrequency and a standard MOSFET in silicon to obtain a normally-off transistor drivable by a classicMOSFET driver die.

• A comparison between the TPH3002PS and the GaN Systems is done in this report.

• TEM analysis are performed to highlight GaN epitaxy and transistor structure characteristics.

• The manufacturing of the GaN-on-Silicon HEMT is realized by Fujitsu in its 150mm wafer foundry inAizu, Japan.

• The manufacturing of the Silicon MOSFET is realized by ON Semiconductor in its 150mm Roznovfoundry in Czech

• The assembly module and final test (Back-end) are realized by ON Semiconductor and are assumed totake place in the Seremban plant in Malaysia.

Reverse costing analysis represents the best cost/price evaluation given the publically available data, and estimates completed by industry experts.

Given the hypothesis presented in this analysis, the major sources of correction would lead to a +/- 10% correction on the manufacturing cost (if all parameters are cumulated).

These results are open for discussion. We can reevaluate this circuit with your information. Please contact us:
