Showa Denko enters mass production of 6-inch SiC single-crystal substrates
What happened
Showa Denko has commenced mass production of 6-inch silicon carbide (SiC) single-crystal wafers. This expansion is driven by rapidly rising demand for power semiconductors in electric vehicles, rail, and industrial equipment. Bearish: The increase in substrate supply capacity could alleviate long-term supply constraints and exert downward pressure on SiC wafer pricing.
