Multi-year agreement to boost expansion of SiC in automotive and industrial applications
Cree has announced that it signed a multi-year agreement to produce and supply its Wolfspeed SiC wafers to STMicroelectronics.
The agreement governs the supply of a quarter billion dollars of Cree's advanced 150mm SiC bare and epitaxial wafers to STMicroelectronics during this period of extraordinary growth and demand for SiC power devices.
“ST is the only semiconductor company with automotive-grade SiC in mass production today, and we want to press forward to grow our SiC business both in terms of volume and breadth of applications served, targeting leadership in a market estimated at more than $3B in 2025,” said Jean-Marc Chery, president and CEO of STMicroelectronics. “This agreement with Cree will improve our flexibility, sustain our ambition and plans, and contribute to boosting the pervasion of SiC in automotive and industrial applications.”
“We remain focused on increasing the adoption of SiC-based solutions, and this agreement is a testament to our mission,” said Gregg Lowe, CEO of Cree. “This is the third multi-year agreement that we have signed this past year in support of the industry's transition from silicon to SiC. As the world leader in SiC, Cree continues to expand capacity to meet the growing market needs, particularly in industrial and automotive applications. We are extremely pleased to continue to support STMicroelectronics as we both invest to accelerate this market.”
CS International 26-27 March 2019, Sheraton Airport Hotel, Brussels
In its ninth year, CS International will continue to provide timely, comprehensive coverage of every important sector within the compound semiconductor industry. Presentations are split into 5 key themes and each industry key theme will be delivered by a keynote presentation from a leading industry figure as well as a market analyst presentation tailored to the theme. Together, the talks will detail breakthroughs in device technology; offer insights into the current status and the evolution of compound semiconductor devices; and provide details of advances in tools and processes that will help to drive up fab yields and throughputs. Attendees at the two-day conference will gain an up-to-date overview of the status of the CS industry, and have opportunities to meet many other key players within this community.
