在每一个电动汽车发动机的核心是一个MOSFET半导体器件内置在一个专业的基板硅心未来净零计划为英国将依赖于这些设备。该可行性项目将研究如何扩大南威尔士化合物半导体集群的现有能力，以创建一个解决方案，为英国的汽车供应线提供支持。由此产生的研究将展示如何在200 mm Epi衬底上建立创新的下一代EV TRENCH MOSFET的实质性供应线。最终报告将概述关键业务计划、洁净室扩建方案、就业影响和投资要求，包括英国战略研发与创新基金的潜在用途。该项目将利用纽波特晶圆制造厂（NWF）的研发与创新专业知识，英国最大的半导体中心和化合物半导体中心CSC（IQE）的外延知识。该项目将得到斯旺西大学（SU）集成半导体材料中心（CSIM）。英国汽车行业需要一个明确的途径来开发和供应PEMD器件，这将推动APC和DER的战略雄心。这项可行性研究将确定建立商业计划报告的基本要求，该报告可以提供一个规模化的、具有成本效益的技术途径，以促进英国PEMD创新，使英国能够在净零挑战中取得领导地位。

At the heart of every EV engine is a MOSFET semiconductor device built in a specialist substrate Silicon CardideThe future net zero plan for the UK will rely on these devices. This feasibility project will study how the existing capabilities of the South Wales Compound Semiconductor cluster can be expanded to create a solution to feed the UK's Automotive supply line. The resultant study will demonstrate how a substantial supply line of innovative , next generation EV TRENCH MOSFET's on 200mm Epi substrates can be established. The final report will outline the key business plan, cleanroom expansion options, employment impact and investment requirements including the potential use of strategic UK RD&I funds.The project will access the RD&I expertise of Newport Wafer Fab (NWF), the UK Largest semiconductor centre and the epitaxy knowledge of Compound Semiconductor Centre CSC (IQE).The project will be supported by Swansea University's (SU) Centre for Intregrative Semiconductor Materials (CSIM).The UK automotive industry needs a clearly defined pathway to develop and supply PEMD devices that will drive the APC and DER's strategic ambitions. This feasibility study will define the fundamental requirements to establish a business plan report that can deliver a scaled, cost effective, technology pathway that will foster UK PEMD innovation, enabling the UK to achieve a leadership position in the net zero challenge
