Infineon starts 200mm SiC product-roll out
Infineon Technologies has announced significant progress along its 200 mm SiC roadmap, with customers receiving the first products based on the technology in Q1 2025.
Manufactured in Villach, Austria, these new SiC power devices are targeted for use in renewable energy applications, trains, and electric vehicles.
Additionally, Infineon says the transition of its site in Kulim, Malaysia from 150mm to 200mm wafers is on track. The newly built Module 3 is poised to start high-volume production to meet market demand.
Rutger Wijburg, COO of Infineon said: “By ramping up SiC production in Villach and Kulim in phases, we are improving cost-efficiency and continuing to ensure product quality. At the same time, we are making sure our manufacturing capacities can meet the demand for SiC-based power semiconductors.”
Infineon’s production sites in Villach and Kulim share technologies and processes which allows for fast ramping in both SiC and GaN manufacturing, according to the company.
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.
