AIXTRON announced on April 18, 2024, that Wolfspeed, the leader in silicon carbide technology, has expanded its production capabilities by adopting AIXTRON’s G10-SiC for 200mm silicon carbide epitaxial wafers. Wolfspeed has placed orders for multiple tools from AIXTRON throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2023. These tools are anticipated to boost production efficiency at both their existing Durham campus and the upcoming John Palmour Manufacturing Center for Silicon Carbide.

The G10-SiC, first introduced in September 2022, is recognized for its advanced uniformity and high productivity rates. According to AIXTRON, this technology offers the lowest cost of ownership in the market, providing significant economic benefits alongside superior performance in epitaxial processes.

Silicon carbide is increasingly favored in industries requiring high energy efficiency, such as electric vehicles and AI data centers. Its adoption is expected to contribute to more sustainable energy consumption globally. Wolfspeed's commitment to enhancing its production facilities with AIXTRON’s state-of-the-art equipment underscores the importance of ongoing innovations in the semiconductor sector.
