· Infineon and Cree signed a long-term supply agreement for silicon carbide wafers

According to foreign media reports, Infineon and Cree announced a strategic long-term supply agreement to supply silicon carbide (SiC) wafers to the latter, further expanding Infineon's silicon carbide products. Entering high-growth markets such as photovoltaic inverters and electric vehicles.

As Infineon's silicon carbide production line has been switched to the most advanced 150 mm silicon carbide production line. Therefore, the supply agreement between Infineon and Cree only covers this product.

Infineon CEO Reinhard Ploss said: "Infineon has long believed that Cree is a strong and reliable partner, and the company has a very good reputation in the industry. Silicon Carbide Wafer Cooperation Agreement. We will achieve strategic growth in automotive and industrial energy control to create more value for our customers."

Cree's CEO Gregg Lowe said: "Infineon is a long-term, business-critical partner that has gained a reputation in the industry. The agreement is an indication of the advancement of Cree's silicon carbide wafer technology. Sexuality will also help boost the company's production capacity and will accelerate the adoption of this silicon carbide-based solution."

Silicon carbide-based semiconductors are the most efficient and disruptive basic materials for energy conversion and electric vehicle system solutions. In the past few years, silicon carbide-based energy semiconductor solutions have shown strong growth.

After reducing the size of the passive components, the silicon carbide device has better energy saving effect and higher system density than the silicon-based energy semiconductor. In the next few years, in addition to electric vehicles and photovoltaics, silicon carbide products will expand to robotics, industrial power supplies, traction drives and variable speed drives.
