Polar and Nexperia partner on power MOSFET manufacturing
Polar Semiconductor and Nexperia have announced a collaboration to make next generation power MOSFET devices at Polar’s US‑based wafer foundry.
By combining Polar’s expertise in power semiconductor manufacturing and ongoing capacity expansion with Nexperia’s power MOSFET technology, the companies aim to address rapidly growing demand across AI server infrastructure, robotics, industrial, and automotive applications.
Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, Polar provides BCD, BiCMOS, MOSFET, IGBT, MEMS, GaN, and sensor process technologies, along with foundry design enablement, technology transfer, and characterisation services.
Under the collaboration, Nexperia is developing a portfolio of next‑generation power MOSFETs, spanning a wide range of voltage classes and package types to address diverse power‑electronics requirements.
“Investing in future technologies and expanding our power MOSFET portfolio are central to Nexperia’s strategy,” said Fredrik Öberg, general manager business Group MOS at Nexperia. “Our MOSFETs are recognised for their industry leading quality and reliability, and we are pleased to collaborate with Polar Semiconductor, a partner that shares our unwavering commitment to zero‑defect manufacturing and advanced power-device production.”
“At Polar, our vision is to create a differentiated wafer foundry focused on power, sensor, and high-voltage semiconductors. Partnering with Nexperia—one of the world’s leading power semiconductor companies—to bring their power MOSFET roadmap to market underscores the strength of our strategy and the progress we’ve made through targeted investment,” said Reza Kazerounian, executive chairman of Polar Semiconductor.
Stefan Tilger, interim CEO at Nexperia said: “This collaboration is an important step in strengthening Nexperia’s long‑term manufacturing and supply-chain strategy. By working closely with Polar Semiconductor, we are securing reliable capacity, and providing our customers with a strong, stable, and resilient supply foundation to support future growth.”
