Company profile

Anvil Semiconductors company profile

Anvil Semiconductors was established in August 2010 as a spin-out from the School of Engineering of the University of Warwick to exploit patented developments (6 patents) in Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Semiconductor technology. The company’s technologies aim to deliver SiC-based devices at costs equivalent to those of today’s pure Si-based devices, but along with the superior operating properties (principally operating efficiency) SiC offers as a material. The market for such devices stood at $15bn in 2012 and is predicted to grow at 8.6% per year to 2020, in part due to new markets such as wind and PV power inverters.
