“As demand for silicon carbide devices continues to grow, we are pursuing a multi-source strategy to secure access to a high-quality, global and long-term supply base for 150mm and 200mm SiC wafers. Our long-standing partnership with Wolfspeed strengthens Infineon’s supply chain for the years to come,” said Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon Technologies. “We have been working with Wolfspeed for more than 20 years to bring the promise of silicon carbide to the automotive, industrial and energy markets and help our customers leverage this energy-efficient technology to drive decarbonization.”
The use of silicon carbide-based energy solutions is increasing in many markets. Silicon carbide solutions enable smaller, lighter and more cost-effective designs that convert energy more efficiently, providing the basis for new clean energy applications. Infineon is continuously expanding its supplier base to secure access to high-quality silicon carbide substrates to better support the growing markets.
“Wolfspeed is the world leader in silicon carbide production. We are catalyzing the industry’s transformation to silicon carbide by supplying key customers like Infineon, a leader in the automotive and industrial markets, with high-quality materials while expanding our capacity,” said Gregg Lowe, President and CEO of Wolfspeed. “According to industry estimates, the demand for silicon carbide devices and related material will increase significantly by 2030, representing an annual potential of $20 billion. We are excited to continue our partnership with Infineon and look forward to being a key supplier of silicon carbide wafers for years to come.”
