AI Data Centers Drive Demand for SiC, GaN Power Semiconductors
What happened
ETRI researcher Bae Sung-beom highlights that AI data center growth is causing global power shortages, necessitating a shift to high-voltage power networks and compound semiconductors like SiC and GaN for efficiency. NVIDIA's 800V DC architecture is accelerating this transition. Traders should monitor SiC/GaN adoption rates as a long-term demand driver.
