Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium and Beijing, China – October 17, 2018

　　CISSOID, a leading supplier of high-temperature and long-life semiconductor solutions, and Global Power Technology, a China's silicon carbide (SiC) power device industrialization advocate, announced that the two companies have reached a strategic partnership to jointly carry out R&D projects to promote the widespread application of silicon carbide power devices in various industrial fields, especially in the field of new energy vehicles.

　　GPT is a third-generation semiconductor material silicon carbide device manufacturing and application solution provider in China, which is not only a leading enterprise of silicon carbide chips, but also an emerging force supporting high-end manufacturing. CISSOID is a leader in high-temperature semiconductor solutions from Belgium, offering standard products and customized solutions for power management, power conversion and signal conditioning in extreme temperatures and harsh environments. The cooperation between the two companies will help leverage the strengths of both parties, to provide advanced products and solutions for China's new energy vehicles, aerospace and other industrial fields.

　　Silicon carbide power devices have gradually replaced traditional silicon devices in some fields due to the advantages of high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, high energy density and high efficiency. In high-end applications such as aerospace and petroleum, silicon carbide devices need drivers to provide full support in high temperature resistance, very harsh protection mechanisms, etc., and CISSOID has proven in aerospace, petroleum and other fields, more than 10 years of high temperature resistance, high reliability, high robustness drive products, can form a very effective cooperation with GPT's silicon carbide power devices.

　　"GPT has always been committed to realizing the industrialization of silicon carbide power devices in China, and we have achieved mass production of high-quality silicon carbide products, which have been recognized by customers in the fields of automotive electronics, locomotive traction, solar power generation, and consumer appliances." Mr. Chen Tong, General Manager of GPT said. "we are very pleased to enter into a cooperation agreement with CISSOID this time, their high temperature device and high temperature packaging technology is a good fit for SiC device applications to achieve high temperature resistance and high energy density in the overall design, especially their industry-renowned high temperature driver products are a shot in the arm for us, which can help our customers develop many new applications in various fields." At the same time, the in-depth cooperation with CISSIOD is also one of the important measures for our products to enter the overseas market. ”

　　According to data jointly released by the Big Data Development Department, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China has ranked first in the world in the production and sales of new energy vehicles for three consecutive years, and the market prospects of new energy vehicles have attracted much attention. Since automobiles are mass commodities, the market predicts that the power device market share of new energy vehicles will soon become half or more of the overall power device market. In addition, in terms of power devices, silicon carbide devices are also used in more and more fields because they are ahead of traditional silicon devices in many performances. CISSOID and GPT will give full play to their respective advantages and form a strong synergy to bring high-quality silicon carbide products and solutions to the market and contribute to the rapid development of the new energy and China industry field.
