Okmetic

This week we celebrated the European Week for Safety and Health at Okmetic. 💙 During the week, we organized various info sessions and published intranet articles on topics such as proactive work, zero accidents, responsible work behavior, community spirit and self-care. We encouraged our employees to make more safety observations and received more than average: 64 observations of which 14 were positive. During the week we started mornings with refreshing stretchings. 🙆🏼🙆🏻

Exciting times at Okmetic! This week, our global sales team is visiting the Vantaa site, getting a first look at the fab expansion currently under construction. 🏗️   Due to safety reasons, these visits are happening in small groups, but the energy is high as we anticipate the increased 200 mm wafer capacity that will be operational in early 2025. This expansion, which will more than double our capacity, is on schedule and will strengthen our position as a leading supplier of advanced 150 mm and 200 mm wafers for the MEMS, RF, and Power Device markets.

Professor Bantval Jayant Baliga of North Carolina State University has been awarded the 2024 Millennium Technology Prize and one million euros for his invention of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). Since its development in the 1980s, the IGBT has revolutionized power electronics by significantly enhancing energy efficiency and reducing fossil fuel consumption. Over the past 30 years, the IGBT has contributed to a global reduction of over 82 gigatons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to offsetting three years' worth of global carbon emissions. It powers critical technologies, including electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, medical equipment, and home appliances. At Okmetic, we support this innovation with our high-performance Discrete Power Device wafers, Low COP wafers, and Power Management SOI wafers, essential for advancing IGBT technology. 🔗 Learn more about our wafers optimized for power device needs in the comments. Congratulations to Professor Baliga for his remarkable achievement and contribution to a sustainable future! 👏 #Innovation #SemiconductorTechnology #PowerElectronics #MillenniumPrize #IGBT #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability
