Cree, Inc. Expands Schottky Diode Product Family
Durham, NC, January 29, 2004 - Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) today announced the addition of two new silicon carbide (SiC) Zero Recovery(TM) Schottky diodes to its power device product family: a 300 Volt diode, in both 10 Amp and 20 Amp versions, and a 1200 Volt diode, also in 10 Amp and 20 Amp versions. These devices are offered in industry standard TO-220 and TO-247 packages. Target applications for the 300V devices are for output rectifiers and power factor correction in power supplies, and for the 1200V devices as anti-parallel diodes for high frequency inverters and snubber diodes for high current IGBT inverters. The new SiC Schottky diodes will offer the same benefits as Cree's other SiC rectifiers, including faster switching speeds and reductions in circuit size and complexity, yielding a higher power density for compact power supplies in high performance applications.
Dr. John Palmour, Cree's Executive Vice President, Advanced Devices stated, "Our investment in R&D has enabled us to continue to expand our Schottky diode product offerings for applications requiring either higher or lower voltages than our 600 V products, as well as higher operating currents. We believe these devices will provide customers with a range of products to permit the implementation of smaller, more efficient power systems."
Cree is an advanced semiconductor company that leverages its expertise in silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon (Si) materials technology to produce new and enabling semiconductors.
