Semikron is an independent manufacturer of power semiconductor components. The company was founded by Dr. Friedrich Josef Martin in Nuremberg in 1951. Today the company has a staff of more than 2,900 people in 25 subsidiaries (world-wide) with production sites in Germany, Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Korea, Slovakia and the US. Semikron is a provider of chips, discrete semiconductors, transistor, diode and thyristor power modules, power assemblies and systems for markets such as industrial drives, wind and solar, hybrid and electric vehicles, the rail industry and power supplies. According to a survey carried out by BTM Consult ApS, the total wind power capacity installed until 2009 was 122 Gigawatt. 57 Gigawatt comprises power semiconductors from Semikron. In the field of diode/thyristor modules Semikron is the market leader with a 30% share of the worldwide market.〔IMS Research "The global power semiconductor market 2010".〕 ==Products== Semikron’s product range consists of 11,600 different power semiconductors from 1 kW to 10 MW, including chips, discrete diodes/thyristors, power modules (IGBT / MOSFET / diode / thyristor/CIB/IPM), driver and protection components and integrated subsystems. Amongst other developments Semikron invented the world's first isolated power module, the Semipack, of which 56 million are presently in use.
