Costexis Develops World's First Vertically Structured Ultra-Miniature Current Sensor

Kostexis, a specialized company in low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity material components (CEO Han Gyu-jin), has officially launched the development of an ultra-small vertical-structure shunt resistor that senses current, following its success in developing spacers for power semiconductors.

Kostexis announced on the 31st that it has been selected as the lead research institution for the 2024 Materials and Components Technology Development Project, organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

This national project aims to develop an ultra-small current sensor (shunt resistor) that precisely senses power consumption to prevent overheating, overcharging, and overdischarging in various electronic devices such as power semiconductors, battery management systems, AI, and robots, thereby optimizing their lifespan. Compared to existing commercial current sensors, this sensor is miniaturized and features a vertical structure with excellent precision and thermal characteristics.

A Kostexis representative stated, “We have secured technology related to current sensors, which has recently emerged as an important technology in power semiconductors, and have completed patent applications. This secures a new growth engine that can be supplied together with our main product, the spacer, and we expect significant improvements in future sales and global competitiveness.”

Meanwhile, Kostexis is a leading company in developing components for power semiconductors and advanced electronic devices, standing out in the global market with innovative technology and excellent quality. Its main products include power semiconductor spacers and various current sensors.
