RISE brings together over 30 years of expertise in wide bandgap materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Our specialists combine materials science with power electronics to help you develop components that reduce energy losses and enable next-generation products.
Build expertise in wide bandgap materials, power electronics and semiconductor processes. RISE training courses provide you and your employees with the knowledge to navigate the material transition from silicon to SiC and GaN, and drive energy efficiency forward.
RISE offers packaged solutions for companies that want to develop energy-efficient power electronics components. Whether you need to design SiC components, scale up production or test new materials, here you will find the right support to get to market faster.
The electrification of society is placing new demands on power electronics. Traditional silicon-based semiconductors are reaching their physical limits in terms of voltage and temperature, leading to significant energy losses with each conversion of electrical energy. Next-generation products – from electric cars to 5G networks – require advanced materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, but few companies have the resources to build their own manufacturing capacity or the specialist expertise needed to develop these materials.
RISE gives you access to the entire development chain for energy-efficient semiconductors without you having to invest in your own infrastructure. In our two cleanroom laboratories, Electrum and ProNano, we design, model and manufacture components in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) that reduce energy losses by up to two-thirds compared to silicon. This provides tangible benefits such as a 10-20 per cent longer range in electric cars and dramatically improved system efficiency. We help small and medium-sized companies in particular to scale up their innovations by offering both expertise and advanced equipment, enabling you to get to market faster without your own capital costs for clean rooms and process equipment.
Take advantage of our expertise to create knowledge, designs and prototypes in our labs. We have over 25 years of experience in the field of SiC and GaN, as well as other types of micro/nano component manufacturing.
RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and The Inter-University Semiconductor Research Center (ISRC) at Seoul National University has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop next-generation power semiconductor technologies in response to the accelerating global shift toward electrification.
RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and Kwangwoon University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation in power-semiconductor development and advanced materials research. The agreement was formalized at a signing ceremony in Jeju, South Korea.
The partnership builds on a solid foundation of existing joint activities. With the MoU, both partners commit to strengthening practical academia–industry cooperation through joint research, talent exchange, international symposia, and internship programs.
This two-day course in standard IEC 61508 covers the requirements for both systems - hardware and software - in detail. The aim is that participants shall acquire sufficient understanding of IEC 61508 and how it is structured. This will enable self-sufficient work.
To gain an understanding of the most essential parts of IEC 61508 and to provide a sufficiently detailed knowledge. This will enable you to proceed and apply the standard yourself.
Hardware Designers, Programmers, Test Engineers, System Engineers, Project Managers, Product Managers, Quality Managers, Operations and Maintenance Personnel.
Initially, the course covers general concepts and establishes how the standard can be applied. The course includes, among other things, the following parts:
The course theory is alternated with practical examples.
RISE and KENTECH (Korea Institute of Energy Technology) are now establishing a joint research center in Naju City, South Korea, to drive innovation in the electrification of the transport and industrial sectors through cutting-edge research in semiconductors and power electronics.
Gain complete confidence that your weapon-firing simulators and target simulators meet the highest standards. We offer accredited testing according to SISO-STD-016-00-2016, ensuring that your systems operate smoothly and reliably with those from other manufacturers.
Purpose/Benefit:During military exercises, laser-based weapon-firing simulators and target simulators are often used. By standardising how weapon-firing simulators and target simulators encode and decode the optical laser engagement signal, it becomes possible for units from different manufacturers to operate together on the combat training field. This is particularly important when different armed forces, such as those within NATO, conduct joint live simulation combat exercises.
As an independent testing institute with extensive metrological expertise, we perform accredited testing of both weapon-firing simulators and target simulators. Independent verification that a product meets the requirements of the standard is often a prerequisite set by procurers and buyers.
Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):The testing is carried out with equipment and an accredited method developed by RISE, based on the standard SISO-STD-016-00-2016 and the corresponding test plan SISO-REF-073-00-2020. The testing is performed in RISE’s laboratory, or upon request, at the customer’s site.
Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):The results of the testing are summarised in a report, where each subtest in the test plan (SISO-REF-073-00-2020) is presented separately.

This will lead to a more secure traceability chain and better measurement uncertainty for calibration in the low frequency range.
To realise the units for alternating voltage, alternating current and electrical power with the lowest measurement uncertainty at RISE, thermal converters are used. With a thermal converter, an unknown alternating voltage (ac) can be compared to a known direct voltage (dc) that is traceable to natural constants via the Josephson effect. Each thermal converter has an error (ac-dc difference) that must be characterized as part of the realisation. In this project, new characterization methods will be developed with a programmable Josephson standard, which can generate precisely defined (quantised) direct voltages and alternating voltage signals with calculable RMS value.
After the project, RISE will be one of few NMIs (National Metrology Institutes) in the world with its own realisation of the alternating electical units, which makes us independent of external actors and increases the security of the traceability chain. The new methods will also be used at RISE to improve measurement uncertainty during calibration in the low-frequency range (<1 kHz), especially at 3–10 Hz, since measuring instruments with significantly better performance in that range than before have come onto the market.
