Navitas invests $20m in its first three Aixtron G10-SiC epi reactors

What happened

Navitas Semiconductor has invested $20 million to acquire its first three Aixtron G10-SiC epitaxial reactors, marking a strategic move to vertically integrate and increase control over its GeneSiC silicon carbide power semiconductor production. This investment aims to reduce costs and enhance revenue capacity by bringing a key manufacturing step in-house. Bearish: This capacity expansion for SiC power devices adds to the industry's growing supply, potentially easing long-term pricing pressure and availability constraints.
