In recent years, the increasing sophistication and power requirements of compact devices have resulted in larger batteries that reduce the space available for mounting components.

Key Points: 
  • In recent years, the increasing sophistication and power requirements of compact devices have resulted in larger batteries that reduce the space available for mounting components.
  • To meet this need, the development of MOSFETs in wafer-level, chip-size packages (WLCSP) that contribute to greater miniaturization while maintaining the necessary characteristics is becoming mainstream in the industry.
  • ROHM leverages its strengths as an IC manufacturer to significantly reduce wiring resistance, which has increased with conventional discrete processes.
  • At the same time, ROHM’s unique package structure provides insulated protection for the side walls (unlike standard products in the same package with no protection).
