Wolfspeed opens Mohawk Valley 200mm silicon carbide fab

What happened

Wolfspeed has officially opened its new 200mm silicon carbide wafer fabrication plant in Mohawk Valley, New York. This facility represents a significant capacity expansion aimed at supporting the industry transition from silicon to SiC-based semiconductors. Bearish: The increased production capacity for SiC wafers and devices could alleviate long-term supply constraints, potentially putting downward pressure on future prices.
