Ampere, the intelligent electric EV pure player born from Renault Group and STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, today announced the next step in their strategic co-operation, starting in 2026, with a multi-year agreement between STMicroelectronics and Renault Group on the supply of Silicon Carbide (SiC) power modules, as part of their collaboration on a powerbox for the inverter for Ampere's ultra-efficient electric powertrain. Ampere and STMicroelectronics worked together on the optimization of the power module, the key element in the powerbox, to get the highest performance and best competitiveness in the e-powertrain, leveraging Ampere's expertise in EV technology and STMicroelectronics' expertise in advanced power electronics."This agreement is the result of the intensive work carried out with STMicroelectronics. By working upstream together, we were able to optimize and secure the supply of key components for our electric powertrains, to offer high-performance EVs with increased range and optimized charging time. It perfectly aligns with Ampere's strategy to master the entire value chain of power electronics for its e-powertrain, leveraging STMicroelectronics' expertise in power modules," said Philippe Brunet, SVP of Powertrain & EV engineering, Ampere."ST is at the cutting edge of the development of advanced power electronics enabling the mobility industry to improve the performance of electrified platforms. With the optimization of these higher-efficient products and solutions to meet Ampere's performance requirements, and our vertically integrated silicon carbide supply chain, we are supporting Ampere's strategy for its next generation of electric powertrain," said Michael Anfang, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, Europe, Middle East and Africa Region, STMicroelectronics. "ST and Ampere share a common vision for more sustainable mobility and this agreement marks another step forward in improved power performance to further contribute to concrete improvements to carbon emissions reduction by the mobility industry and its supply chain."Power modules, composed of numerous silicon carbide chips, manage and convert electrical power from the battery to drive the electric motor. They play a crucial role in the efficiency of the electric powertrain and battery range, as well as energy regeneration features, making them a key element of the efficiency of an electric car. They also contribute to the smoothness and responsiveness of driving.STMicroelectronics and Ampere have collaborated on a powerbox for the supply of energy to Ampere's new generation of electric motors. The powerbox is designed for optimum performance-size ratio across Ampere's line-up, on 400 Volt battery EVs and for Segment C-EVs with 800 Volt batteries, enabling greater autonomy and faster charging. 800 Volts is one of the key levers to achieve the 10%-80% quick charge in 15 minutes or less. This agreement is fully aligned with Ampere's strategy to master the entire value chain of the electric vehicle, particularly by working further upstream with its partners and ensuring the best efficiency at each step.As an integrated device manufacturer (IDM), STMicroelectronics ensures the quality and security of supply to serve carmakers' strategies for electrification. The collaboration with Ampere on the silicon carbide power modules and powerbox demonstrates STMicroelectronics' leadership and system-level experience in advanced power electronics, including its packaging expertise.Additional Technical InformationThe powerbox combines three SiC-based power modules, an excitation module, which provides the necessary electrical excitation to the motor or generator for controlling the magnetic field within the motor, and a cooling baseplate designed to dissipate heat from the back side of the power module, simplifying the thermal management and cooling process.
Following trend towards miniaturization, IC manufacturers are under constant pressure to increase the density of interconnects, with the result that conductors with finer lines and spaces are required. According to the roadmaps of major Original Equipment Manufacturers, Line/Space requirements for copper conductors are set to become increasingly finer, with a target of below 8/8 μm for the near future packaging substrates.SAP and (a)-MSAP processes involve the plating of the desired circuitry on a thin conductive copper seed layer, followed by the removal of the respective seed layer using a flash/differential etching solution to finalize the circuit formation. These etchants typically contain sulfuric acid or hydrogen peroxide, along with various organic additives. They offer the advantage of uniform and fluid-independent etch attack. However, there are also several drawbacks. For example, these etchants are known to cause undercutting of the conductor tracks (up to several micrometers), affecting the mechanical stability and, consequently, the interfacial integrity of fine line conductors (track width < 8 μm). Furthermore, the solution/process must be run in feed and bleed mode to maintain a stable copper content in the solution and replenish the oxidizer that has been used. This results in the generation of significant quantities of chemical waste, which requires costly treatment.Alternatively, MKS – MSD has introduced the EcoFlash S300 flash/differential etching process. This new iron sulfate-based differential etchant is designed for <8/8 μm L/S packaging substrates. It features a high etching ratio and is free from undercuts, making it crucial for fine line circuit formation. These attributes distinguish EcoFlash S300 from other conventional flash/differential etching processes.Features comparison between conventional flash/differential etching process and EcoFlash S300Additionally, the solid rectangular shape of the conductor traces created by the EcoFlash S300 etching process plays a crucial role in optimizing heat dissipation. This shape increases the surface area for more efficient heat transfer, helping to prevent overheating and ensuring stable operation. Furthermore, the rectangular design allows for consistent and easily controlled current flow, providing reliable electrical performance. Its geometry also makes it ideal for fitting within the compact spaces of modern circuit boards, enabling high-density layouts without compromising on efficiency or performance.The cross-sectional image of the EcoFlash S300 flash-etched fine conductor trace demonstrates zero undercut and exceptional trace rectangularityThanks to its wide operating window, EcoFlash S300 delivers exceptional process stability, effectively minimizing fluctuations and ensuring consistent quality across the entire production cycle. This reliability results in the creation of high-quality circuit patterns, significantly improving production yield compared to conventional flash/differential etching processes. The superior performance of EcoFlash S300 makes it the preferred solution for manufacturing fine L/S 8/8 μm and smaller feature sizes, setting a new standard in precision and efficiency for advanced circuit fabrication. As a result, EcoFlash S300 is the first-choice solution for applications demanding high-precision flash/differential etching.
