By increasing its production capacity of silicon carbide epitaxial wafers, the Japanese chemical engineering firm is targeting the power devices market, which is expected to see an increase in silicon carbide demand for high-tech applications.
Japanese chemical and engineering company,
Showa Denko (SDK), has increased its production capacity of
silicon carbide (
SiC) epitaxial wafers for applications in
power devices.
The company expanded its six-inch (150mm) diameter SiC
wafers production from 400 units per month to 1,500 units per
month.
In addition, SDK also increased...
