onsemi completes expansion of silicon carbide fab in South Korea
What happened
onsemi has completed the expansion of its Bucheon, South Korea facility, now claimed as the world's largest SiC fab, with a capacity exceeding 1 million 200mm SiC wafers annually. This expansion is part of a strategic push to meet rising demand for SiC in electric vehicles and industrial applications. Bearish: The significant increase in SiC wafer supply capacity could alleviate supply constraints and exert downward pressure on SiC component prices in the medium term.
