TowerJazz and Vishay Intertechnology are expanding their business relationship to manufacture Planar MOSFETs and Super Junction MOSFETs that is expected to result in tens of millions of dollars in additional yearly revenue.
Under the terms of the expanded relationship, the two companies will include increased production of Vishay Siliconix high-voltage power MOSFETs.
In addition, TowerJazz will manufacture Vishay Siliconix Super Junction FET Power MOSFETs. These devices, with very low RDS(on), provide lower conduction losses that save energy in power factor correction and pulsewidth modulation applications in a range of electronic systems, including LCD TVs, PCs, servers, switch mode power supplies (SMPS), and telecom systems, Vishay Intertechnology said.
Serge Jaunay, senior vice president of MOSFET division at Vishay Intertechnology, said: "Along with the announcement of our new 600-V Super Junction FET power MOSFETs, our expanded foundry agreement will enable us to support the very significant demand that we expect for this device. The strong support, technical capabilities, and performance of TowerJazz have resulted in our expanded business relationship with the foundry."
