Driven by downstream applications such as new energy, 5G, and photovoltaics, the third-generation semiconductor industry, represented by silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), is rapidly developing. Major semiconductor manufacturers are actively expanding their presence in this sector. At ...

Recently, according to media reports, Vishay Intertechnology will invest £51 million in Newport Wafer Fab (NWF), the largest semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility in the UK. This investment includes £5 million in funding support from the Welsh Government. Public information reveals that Vi...

In the current global silicon carbide (SiC) market, 8-inch wafers have undoubtedly become one of the hottest topics. TrendForce believes that while processing costs increase when upgrading from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC substrates, the resulting increase in chip output is significant. An 8-inch wafer can...

As two representative materials of wide-bandgap semiconductors, gallium nitride (GaN) currently thrives in the fast charging sector of consumer electronics, while silicon carbide (SiC) is gradually gaining ground in the application scenarios of new energy vehicles. Simultaneously, both are expanding...

Industry reports indicate that since the beginning of this year, the price of mainstream 6-inch SiC substrates has been consistently declining, with a drop of nearly 30%. As of mid-2024, industry insiders in China reveal that the price of 6-inch SiC substrates has fallen below USD 500, approachin...
