Industrial Power Control (IPC) at a Glance
- Strong sales in Asia, but also Europe given customer base there.
- Revenue stable for last quarters, but very weak order entry given overall economic situation.
- Margin compression driven by top line plus cost of investment in capacity and higher OpEx.

Summary
Factory Automation: Huge Savings Potential By Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
Global electricity demand by enduse application of electric motors
Source: International Energy Agency: "Walking the Torque, May 2012
Comments
- About 300m electric motors are in use worldwide, responsible for ~2/3rd of the total industrial power consumption. Depending on the application, up to 30% power can be saved by VSD. Today, just 15% of all electric motors are VSDcontrolled.
- "Mechanic goes electric"; e.g. hydraulic is replaced by electric motors.
- Rising labor cost in low labor cost countries drives automation level.
Wind: All-time High in 2012; 2013 to Suffer From PTC Cuts in the US
Comments
- Drop in the US wind market due to cuts in PTC*.
- Ongoing grid coupling problems in China still limit faster growth of new installations.
- South America on the rise.
- Europe stable (both in new installations and repowering).
*PTC = renewable energy production tax credits.

Photovoltaics: Europe to Dip in 2013; APAC And the Americas Continue to Grow
Comments
- Germany: Rush in 2012 before FiTs are cut.
- Japan: New FiTs since July 2012 as part of the new clean energy policy.
- China: Expected to be the biggest market from 2013 onwards. Utility-scale installations (100 – 500 kW) are dominating the market.

Besides High-speed Trains, Metro Trains Are an Attractive Segment of Traction

Comments
- Deployment of metro systems driven by increasing urbanization, especially in APAC and the Gulf states.
- Expansion of express railway network included in China's 12th FYP.
- Semiconductor content per MW of metro trains is comparable to that of highspeed trains.
Growth Driver Industrial and Off-Road Vehicles
Trends
- General advantage of pure electric and diesel-electric drives over diesel:
- less fuel consumption,
- less CO2 emission,
- less noise pollution,
- less downtime (due to less frequent refueling, less frequent maintenance).
- First industrial vehicles already on the market; hybrid buses and mining vehicles on the rise.

Summary
Infineon's Technology Roadmap Focuses on Increasing Wafer Size and Power Density
Increasing wafer size and decreasing wafer thickness
Wafer thickness will reach 70 µm for 1200-Volt-IGBT products at the end of this decade.
Improvements in power density
Thinner wafers, improvements in transistor design and higher junction temperatures allow increasing power density.
New Materials: Silicon-Carbide (SiC)
- Infineon has a ten year track record in SiC technology.
- SiC is used where highest efficiency is key: a.) PV inverters, b.) power supplies for high-end PCs, servers (data centers), telecom.
- SiC is a challenging technology: about a decade from diode to transistor.
- Infineon also provides specialized control circuits and drivers that maximize benefits of SiC technologies.
