November 03 2022 - 9:00AM
Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) was honored to host U.S. Senator
Edward Markey as he toured the world’s first ChiP™ (Converter
housed in Package) fab at Federal Street in Andover, MA. Senator
Markey met front-line workers responsible for operating the most
advanced, automated power module manufacturing lines in the world.
The new state-of-the-art ChiP fab augments production of
best-in-class Vicor high-density power modules to support
automotive electrification and data center/AI applications.
“It was an honor to have Senator Markey visit our factory and
meet our staff,” said Mike McNamara, Vicor Vice-president of
Operations. “We are proud of our employees and what they have
achieved. The whole team really appreciated that Senator Markey
took the time to visit us and learn more about our operations.”
Markey, a strong advocate for renewable energy and sustainable
business practices, learned how Vicor is engaged in projects with
the world’s largest automotive companies as they pursue more
efficient approaches to vehicle electrification.
“Our new ChiP fab is a vertically integrated facility designed
for high-density power modules,” said McNamara. “Our proprietary,
semiconductor-like manufacturing processes enable us to produce
power modules faster, with consistently superior quality, right
here in Andover as we have done for 41 years.”
The new Vicor ChiP fab provides scalable, high-volume,
cost-effective and sustainable power module manufacturing in the
United States.
This new capacity is integral to Vicor’s business strategy,
which includes supporting high-volume automotive electrification
for global OEMs and data centers/AI as well as satellite
communication, unmanned vehicles and advanced robotics.
The vertically-integrated ChiP fab utilizes proprietary
production processes analogous to those employed by semiconductor
wafer fabs. These patented processes differentiate Vicor from its
competitors, enabling high performance power system solutions.
