Wolfspeed Introduces Transparent SiC Substrates
What happened
Wolfspeed has commercially introduced its proprietary transparent silicon carbide (TSiC) technology, extending SiC beyond power electronics into augmented reality (AR), quantum computing, and advanced optical applications; the technology is based on optical-grade substrates engineered for low optical absorption and high wafer flatness. According to the source, SiC properties such as high refractive index, low birefringence, mechanical hardness, and high thermal conductivity make it a potential material for AR waveguides and a platform for hosting qubits. Wolfspeed is advancing 200 mm optical-grade SiC substrates and developing 300 mm TSiC technology to meet future market requirements. The source does not state any price or supply impact of this product introduction.
