Polar Semiconductor and Nexperia partner on power MOSFET manufacturing to strengthen global supply stability

Foundry collaboration supports growth across AI server infrastructure, robotics, industrial, and automotive markets

Bloomington, Minnesota, USA / Nijmegen, Netherlands; May 27, 2026 – Polar Semiconductor, LLC and Nexperia B.V. today announced a strategic collaboration to manufacture next‑generation power MOSFET devices at Polar Semiconductor’s U.S.‑based wafer foundry. The partnership supports an expanded power MOSFET portfolio while strengthening supply for customers worldwide.

By combining Polar’s deep expertise in power semiconductor manufacturing and ongoing capacity expansion with Nexperia’s leading power MOSFET technology, the collaboration addresses rapidly growing demand across AI server infrastructure, robotics, industrial, and automotive applications.

Polar Semiconductor, a U.S.-based foundry with fully domestic manufacturing operations, runs a high‑volume wafer manufacturing facility in Minnesota with extensive experience in power processes. With over six decades of semiconductor manufacturing and a 25+ year heritage in automotive production, Polar is IATF 16949 certified and committed to zero‑defect manufacturing. Under the collaboration, Nexperia is developing an extensive portfolio of next‑generation power MOSFETs, spanning a wide range of voltage classes and package types to address diverse power‑electronics requirements.

“Investing in future technologies and expanding our power MOSFET portfolio are central to Nexperia’s strategy,” said Fredrik Öberg, General Manager Business Group MOS at Nexperia. “Our MOSFETs are recognized for their industry leading quality and reliability, and we are pleased to collaborate with Polar Semiconductor, a partner that shares our unwavering commitment to zero‑defect manufacturing and advanced power-device production.”

“At Polar, our vision is to create a differentiated wafer foundry focused on power, sensor, and high-voltage semiconductors. Partnering with Nexperia – one of the world’s leading power semiconductor companies – to bring their power MOSFET roadmap to market underscores the strength of our strategy and the progress we’ve made through targeted investment,” said Reza Kazerounian, Executive Chairman of Polar Semiconductor.

Stefan Tilger, interim CEO at Nexperia confirms: “This collaboration is an important step in strengthening Nexperia’s long‑term manufacturing and supply-chain strategy. By working closely with Polar Semiconductor, we are securing reliable capacity, and providing our customers with a strong, stable, and resilient supply foundation to support future growth.”

Nexperia’s power MOSFET portfolio is designed to help customers select the right balance of switching performance and robustness for demanding applications. Over the past decades, the company has continuously advanced packaging technologies, including copper‑clip solutions such as LFPAK and CCPAK, as well as the MLPAK package, to deliver enhanced electrical performance, ruggedness, and thermal efficiency.
