X-FAB is streamlining the development of advanced silicon carbide (SiC) power devices through its latest XbloX platform. This modular, scalable platform enables SiC device designers to transition from prototyping to full-scale production significantly faster—achieving production ramp-up up to nine months ahead of traditional development methods.
The third generation of the XbloX platform (XSICM03) introduces advanced capabilities tailored for high-performance planar SiC MOSFETs. It reduces cell pitch and improves on-state resistance, which enables up to 30% more dies per wafer and supports compact, efficient power device designs. The platform is optimized for high-growth sectors such as automotive, industrial automation, energy, and datacenter infrastructure, where next-generation SiC MOSFETs are in high demand.
XbloX provides two key benefits for device developers: first, X-FAB takes ownership of core process development activities by offering a Process Installation Kit (PIK) that contains pre-qualified process modules and implant recipes. Second, the standardized and modular configuration of the platform transforms wafer manufacturing into a scalable process, moving beyond the limitations of customer-specific production models.
The result is a dramatic reduction in development time, risk, and engineering resources. Customers benefit from an accelerated onboarding process—up to six times faster than conventional methods—and a guided approach that simplifies design, mask tooling, and process selection. Once process blocks are selected, XbloX automatically generates an integrated process flow that incorporates quality controls, business systems, and commercial terms.
“Thanks to a PIK, qualified SiC process development modules, and an automated onboarding process, customers need do little more than access our global hotline for support on block selection and deployment,” said Brian Throneberry, Business Director SiC Foundry at X-FAB. “We have robust rules in place to help guide design, mask tooling, engagement, and so on. Once the selection is finalized, XbloX automatically generates the process flow, which subsequently integrates quality systems, business functions, and commercial aspects for the customer.”
The XSICM03 platform continues to build on X-FAB’s leadership in wide-bandgap semiconductor manufacturing by aligning SiC process integration with CMOS-modeled specifications, design rules, and control plans. Customers will also benefit from future advancements as new modules are added to the XbloX ecosystem.

ROHM has commenced mass production of its SCT40xxDLL series silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in TO-Leadless (TOLL) packages, offering a significant 39% improvement in thermal performance compared to conventional TO-263-7L packages with equivalent voltage ratings and on-resistance. The new series is designed to meet the growing demand for compact, high-power components in applications such as AI server power supplies and energy storage systems (ESS), where power density and miniaturization are increasingly critical.
As modern industrial and consumer equipment evolves, applications such as compact photovoltaic (PV) inverters and high-efficiency server systems face dual requirements: increasing power capability and reduced system size. This is especially true for power factor correction (PFC) circuits in slim-profile “pizza box” server power supplies, where discrete semiconductors must conform to strict thickness constraints of 4 mm or less.
ROHM’s SCT40xxDLL series responds to these requirements with a compact 2.3 mm low-profile form factor—approximately 50% thinner than traditional equivalents—and a reduced component footprint by about 26%. The series also distinguishes itself with a rated drain-source voltage of up to 750 V, surpassing the standard 650 V found in many TOLL package MOSFETs. This higher voltage rating contributes to increased surge voltage tolerance, lower gate resistance requirements, and reduced switching losses.
The SCT40xxDLL lineup includes six models with typical on-resistance values ranging from 13 mΩ to 65 mΩ. Maximum current ratings span up to 120 A, depending on the device, making them suitable for a wide range of high-performance power conversion systems. Mass production began in September 2025.
SCT40xxDLL Series Overview:
Part Number VDSS Max (V) RDS(on) Typ (mΩ) ID Max (A) PD Max (W) Storage Temp (°C) SCT4013DLL 750 13 120 405 -40 to +175 SCT4020DLL 750 20 80 277 -40 to +175 SCT4026DLL 750 26 61 214 -40 to +175 SCT4036DLL 750 36 46 164 -40 to +175 SCT4045DLL 750 45 37 133 -40 to +175 SCT4065DLL 750 65 26 100 -40 to +175 These devices are suitable for use in:
