Soitec inaugurates new plant for SmartSiC wafer production
What happened
Soitec has inaugurated a new plant with a final production capacity of 500,000 SmartSiC wafers per year. This expansion is part of the European push to strengthen its semiconductor supply chain, particularly for power electronics used in EVs and energy. Bearish: The significant increase in SiC wafer production capacity is expected to alleviate supply constraints and put downward pressure on future prices.
