Challenges:

The supply chain for wide bandgap semiconductors remains relatively underdeveloped compared to that of traditional silicon-based semiconductors. This limitation can result in supply shortages, extended lead times, and higher production costs. Additionally, the manufacturing, testing, and packaging infrastructure for wide bandgap semiconductor devices is not as advanced as that of silicon-based components. This presents logistical and operational challenges for companies involved in this market. 

Regional Trends:

The North American wide bandgap semiconductor market is anticipated to secure a significant share of global revenue and is expected to grow at a high CAGR in the coming years. This growth is driven by increasing adoption of smart devices and a strong focus on energy efficiency in electronic systems. Additionally, the European market is witnessing rapid expansion due to the rising demand for energy-efficient semiconductors in the IT, telecommunications, and consumer electronics industries. Government initiatives and funding in Europe are further encouraging investment in wide bandgap semiconductor technology, attracting key stakeholders looking to capitalize on its benefits.

Recent Developments:

  • In Dec 2022, Wolfspeed, Inc. disclosed the extension of a current, multi-year, long-term Silicon Carbide wafer supply agreement with a prominent power device manufacturer, which is now valued at approximately $225 million. The company's vision for an industry-wide transition from silicon-to-Silicon Carbide semiconductor power devices is reinforced by the expanded agreement, which mandates that Wolfspeed provide the company with 150 mm Silicon Carbide bare and epitaxial wafers.
  • In June 2023, Airbus and STMicroelectronics (ST) agreed to work on power electronics R&D to promote more efficient and lighter aircraft electrification power electronics. The partnership will create innovative power electronics devices and systems using wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials, including SiC and GaN.
