CHIPX to establish 8-inch GaN-on-SiC wafer fab in Malaysia
What happened
CHIPX plans to establish an 8-inch GaN-on-SiC wafer fab in Malaysia, marking the first front-end facility of its kind in the ASEAN region. This expansion aims to support next-generation AI and HPC systems by increasing supply of advanced compound semiconductors. Bearish: The announcement of new capacity for specialized wafers could ease long-term supply constraints and exert downward pressure on premium GaN/SiC component pricing.
