Infineon opens first phase of largest SiC power semiconductor fab in Malaysia

What happened

Infineon has officially opened the first phase of its new 200mm silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor fab in Kulim, Malaysia. This expansion is part of the company's strategy to capture a larger share of the fast-growing SiC market, which is driven by automotive and industrial applications. Bearish: The addition of new SiC capacity, while gradual, increases future supply and could exert downward pressure on premium SiC component pricing in the medium term.
