Defense applications

Governments and defense sub-contractors continue their effort to make our world safer with smaller and lighter, more reliable, and long-lasting equipment. Infineon enables product and technology trends in these markets with its small form factor, high reliability semiconductor solutions.

What we offer

• MIL-PRF qualified high reliability power and memory portfolio
• Quick-turn solutions leveraging Infineon’s leading-edge Si, SiC, memory, and GaN COTS portfolio
• Design-in support
• COTS+ value-add services including
  • Extended product qualification and screening
  • Longevity programs

For decades, customers globally have chosen Infineon’s high reliability solutions for use in various defense applications including aircraft, strategic defense, precision guidance capabilities, ground systems, propulsion systems, satellites and more based on our proven track record with:

• Controlled manufacturing process and flow: Infineon’s experience with manufacturing process control and flow stems from decades of compliance with ESA and MIL-STD requirements for our high reliability products in aerospace and defense applications.

• Demonstrated quality commitment: Infineon has mature quality management systems with focus on robust qualification, production stability, enhanced testing, and driving to zero defects. Meeting stringent customer requirements for design control and development changes, part identification and traceability, risk management, and supply continuity stems from years of serving aerospace and defense manufacturers. 

• Product longevity and supply assurance: COTS components offer advantages such as reduced development time, faster new technology insertion, lower procurement costs, and potentially lower life-cycle costs. However, they also can bring obsolescence-induced support issues and requalification costs which can be significant in high reliability applications. Having supplied thousands of long-life programs in aerospace and defense, Infineon can provide extended product life and support services of our COTS and automotive components through our IR HiRel subsidiary. 

• COTS+ high reliability extended product qualification and upscreening services: Infineon has decades of experience qualifying product to MIL-STD requirements. Our COTS+ HiRel custom services include extended product qualification and screening of Infineon COTS and automotive power semiconductor solutions for use in high reliability applications.
