SGL Carbon to supply Wolfspeed SiC fab
SGL Carbon expands capacities to support Wolfspeed’s growth in SiC high-performance applications
SGL Carbon and Wolfspeed have entered into a supply agreement, based on their established business relationship.
SGL Carbon will supply graphite components to Wolfspeed for its US production, as the company ramps its capacity to meet steepening demand for SiC technology and devices.
SGL Carbon will provide materials for Wolfspeed’s recently opened Mohawk Valley Fab, the world’s first and currently largest 200mm SiC wafer fab, as well the company’s John Palmour Manufacturing Center for SiC, a materials manufacturing facility currently under construction in Siler City, NorthCarolina.
“We see SGL Carbon as a strong partner in graphite solutions that are needed for the expanding SiC semiconductor demand. SGL Carbon’s position in the market, their deep technical understanding, and comprehensive product portfolio are invaluable for the commercial ramp of the industry,” said Jeff Ferraro, SVP of Global Procurement and Planning at Wolfspeed.
In the SiC semiconductor production process, graphite components are essential ingredients. From the synthesis of the SiC powder to the finished wafer, SGL Carbon offers customised solutions made of isostatic graphite and carbon composites, as well as insulation materials.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
