Silicon carbide (SiC) has arrived, and it’s a big deal. It was written all over APEC 2023 show with a string attached: the cost of a SiC device is significantly higher than its silicon counterpart.

With a thickness of only 20 µm and a diameter of 300 mm, Infineon’s silicon power wafers are the thinnest in the industry. These ultra-thin wafers are a quarter the thickness of a human hair and half ...

The facility will produce primarily 200mm silicon carbide wafers, which are 1.7x larger than 150mm wafers, translating into more chips per wafer and ultimately, lower device costs.

It all begins with silicon extraction from sand, which is then refined into silicon wafers. These wafers are the foundation of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones to computers.

For a long while, England says there were no advanced silicon wafers made in the U.S., a national security concern since 50% of the world’s wafers are made in the Pacific ocean’s ring of fire.

TAIPEI — Taiwanese silicon wafer manufacturer GlobalWafers said Friday it would invest an additional $4 billion in the United States to meet growing customer demand there, as it officially ...

GlobiTech is currently constructing the first phase of its $5 billion silicon wafer manufacturing plant in Sherman, expected to bring 1,500 jobs at full buildout.
