The new 200 mm SiC epi-wafers are engineered with cutting-edge thickness and doping uniformity, setting new industry standards and supporting the production of superior SiC power semiconductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith our advanced technology, we are not only enhancing the quality of SiC devices but also addressing the growing demand for 200 mm for efficient power-conversion components in critical sectors,\u201d said Gary Ruland, Vice President and General Manager of the SiC Materials Business Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SiC devices are integral to power conversion in electric and hybrid vehicles, energy infrastructure, and high-power EV chargers. The transition from 150 mm to 200 mm diameter wafers responds to the increasing demand for SiC semiconductors, allowing manufacturers to produce more devices per wafer. This shift is expected to enhance productivity and reduce the cost of SiC devices, benefiting a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adopting larger wafers, SiC device manufacturers can achieve higher yields and improved cost efficiency because of a 1.8x increase in usable area per wafer. The implementation of state-of-the-art 200 mm tooling brings additional advantages while aligning with the industry\u2019s drive for greater performance and reduced operational costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional information please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coherent.com\/materials\/wide-bandgap-electronics\">coherent.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coherent Corp., a global leader in materials, networking, and laser technologies, announced today the launch of its 200 mm silicon carbide epitaxial wafers (SiC epi-wafers).
