WBGi consortium promotes the following main efforts toward the diffusion across the world of energy-saving-technology for achieving the goal of the new environment criteria of COP21 while solving the common problems related to the practical use of Wide Band Gap Power Semiconductors through open innovation:

1. Solves the problem with developing the heat-resistant packaging technology, which is a bottleneck against the practical use of Wide Band Gap Power semiconductors, by utilizing the power of the cooperation between businesses and universities.
2. Helps Japan to assume the role of the innovation base for the practical use of Wide Band Gap Power Semiconductors and form the supply chain for the first time in the world.
3. Immediately forms the groundwork, on which its safe and secure design with improved additional values can become a world standard, by clarifying the reliability criteria and the evaluation methods for the device.
4. Performs the promotion activities aiming at standardizing the next generation device technology, while catching world trends immediately and sharing them with its members.

1. Members can be informed of the latest trends in this field through the free lectures provided by different specialists in this field as well as of the Consortium’s promotion activities at the WBGi consortium Conference held 4 times annually.
2. Members can be informed of the latest trends in this field through the prompt receipt of the “WBG Headline” sent on regular basis.
3. The participation in WG (Working) enables members to recognize their own position by comparing the participating companies’ packaged parts, processes, test methods, etc. with the standard benchmarking samples and to make the results timely reflect their development, business, and sales strategies.
