Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Industry Overview
The Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Market is quite competitive. In terms of market share, only a few players dominate the current market, due to which the market is quite consolidated. However, players' upcoming technologies and the innovations carried out are the reason behind the significant boost in the semiconductor silicon wafers market. The market is even witnessing multiple mergers and partnerships so that the companies expand their geographical presence.
- January 2024 - Wolfspeed, Inc., a provider in silicon carbide technology, announced today that it has significantly expanded its ongoing silicon carbide wafer supply deal with a major global semiconductor entity. Valued at around USD 275 million, this enhanced agreement mandates Wolfspeed to provide the company with 150mm silicon carbide bare and epitaxial wafers. This move underscores both firms' commitment to steering the industry towards adopting silicon carbide semiconductor power devices over traditional silicon.
- August 2023 - Nidec Instruments Corporation (“Nidec Instruments”), a fully owned subsidiary of Nidec corporation, announced the launch of its latest semiconductor wafer transfer robot.
