Japan investing ¥70.5bn in ¥211.6bn joint DENSO–Fuji Electric plan to boost SiC power semi production
What happened
Japan's METI approved a ¥70.5bn subsidy for a ¥211.6bn joint investment plan by DENSO and Fuji Electric to boost domestic SiC power semiconductor production. This is part of Japan's national strategy to secure supply chains for next-generation automotive and industrial components. Bearish: The significant capacity expansion, backed by government funding, increases future supply, potentially easing long-term pricing pressure on SiC power devices.
