Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation announced a new line of 8th‑generation medium‑voltage MOSFETs, featuring 40‑volt and 60‑volt devices that employ Advanced Shielded‑Gate Trench (SGT) technology. The new products deliver higher current density and faster switching speeds, support operating temperatures up to 175 °C, and are packaged in the robust PDFN56 package, positioning them for use in power supply units for servers and high‑performance personal computers.
The 40‑volt and 60‑volt devices build on a 0.7 mΩ 40‑volt product that Magnachip launched in May 2025. The new generation improves performance metrics while maintaining low on‑resistance, making the MOSFETs attractive for data‑center and high‑performance PC power supplies that demand high efficiency and power density.
The launch comes as the global server and data‑center power‑supply market is projected to grow from roughly $2.3 billion in 2025 to $3.0 billion in 2029, a 7.4 % CAGR. Magnachip faces competition from larger players such as Infineon, ON Semiconductor, and STMicroelectronics, but the new products give it a stronger foothold in the medium‑voltage segment where demand for efficient power solutions is rising.
Magnachip has recently exited its display business and is concentrating exclusively on power semiconductors. The company’s Q4 2025 revenue fell 17 % year‑over‑year to $40.6 million, and its gross margin contracted to 9.3 % from 23.2 % in the prior year. Management expects the new‑generation MOSFETs to represent about 10 % of total revenue by Q4 2026, up from 2 % in 2025, indicating a strategic push to recover margins and market share.
CEO Camillo Martino said the company has a “strong foundation in power semiconductors, built on decades of engineering expertise, trusted customer relationships, and a reputation for quality and reliability.” He added that Magnachip has simplified its business, reduced costs, sharpened its focus on power, and increased investment in new‑generation products to compete and win in the market.
The launch signals Magnachip’s commitment to the power‑semiconductor sector and its effort to improve profitability, but the company must navigate intense competition and ongoing margin compression while scaling its new product portfolio.
