Semiconductors play a pivotal role in enabling transformation across various industries, including communications, computing, and clean energy. The advancements in MOSFET and IGBT designs have faced tradeoffs in the past, but innovations like STPOWER Superjunction MDmesh technology have maximized performance within traditional silicon platforms. These advancements have allowed for efficient power delivery in systems handling large amounts of power. Additionally, the introduction of field-stop IGBTs has pushed the boundaries of dynamic performance. Furthermore, STMicroelectronics invests in emerging technologies like silicon carbide and gallium nitride to expand the range of available semiconductor solutions. This multi-faceted approach empowers customers to create optimized solutions that leverage the strengths of each material. ST is committed to driving the future of energy through ongoing silicon innovation and beyond, as devices continue to advance to serve emerging needs in the clean power sector.
After earning his Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Antonino Gaito joined ST in 2002 as an application engineer in Power Bipolar applications lab before moving to the Applications and Market Development team a few years later where his main focus was helping customers improve the efficiency of their high-frequency power conversion and DC/DC converter solutions. Today Antonino is a Strategic Marketing Manager conducting research to identify and develop new power management technologies and products.
