Infineon Delivers Its First Silicon Carbide Products to Customers, Built on Advanced 200 mm SiC Wafer Manufacturing Technology
Infineon Technologies AG has made remarkable advancements in its 200 mm silicon carbide (SiC) roadmap. The company is set to introduce the first products utilizing its cutting-edge 200 mm SiC technology to customers in Q1 2025. These products, produced at the Villach, Austria, facility, deliver top-tier SiC power technology for high-voltage applications, including renewable energy systems, rail transport, and electric vehicles. Furthermore, Infineon’s manufacturing site in Kulim, Malaysia, is progressing steadily in its transition from 150-millimeter wafers to the more efficient 200-millimeter wafer format. The newly established Module 3 is on schedule to initiate high-volume production in alignment with market requirements.
SiC semiconductors have transformed high-power applications by enhancing electricity switching efficiency, ensuring high reliability and robustness under extreme conditions, and enabling more compact designs. Infineon’s SiC solutions empower customers to create energy-efficient technologies for electric vehicles, fast-charging infrastructure, railway systems, renewable energy applications, and AI data centers.
The introduction of the first SiC products utilizing 200-millimeter wafer technology represents a major milestone in Infineon’s SiC roadmap. The company remains committed to offering a diverse portfolio of high-performance power semiconductors that drive green energy initiatives and contribute to CO₂ emission reductions.
As part of the “Infineon One Virtual Fab” concept for cutting-edge wide-bandgap (WBG) technologies, Infineon’s Villach and Kulim production sites integrate technologies and processes that facilitate rapid scaling, seamless operations, and highly efficient SiC and gallium nitride (GaN) manufacturing. The expansion into 200-millimeter SiC production reinforces Infineon’s established reputation for delivering industry-leading semiconductor technology and power system solutions. It also strengthens the company’s leadership across the full spectrum of power semiconductors, spanning silicon, SiC, and GaN.
