Global Silicon Carbide Market - Key Developments

• In March 2022, Microchip Technology, a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog, and Flash-IP solutions, announced the launch of 3.3 kV Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices, which provide high efficiency and reliability and have the lowest resistance, helping customers to move to high-voltage SiC with speed and ease. These devices are small, light, provide more efficient power solutions, and help in electrified transportation, renewable energy, aerospace, and other industrial applications.
• In June 2020, Vitesco Technologies, a Germany-based company offering electric vehicles, signed a development partnership with ROHM Semiconductor, a Japan-based company that manufactures and designs semiconductors, integrated circuits (ICs), and other electronic components. Through this partnership, Vitesco Technologies increase the energy efficiency of electric vehicles using silicon carbide components from ROHM Semiconductor.
• In November 2021, Qorvo, a U.S.-based semiconductor company, acquired UnitedSiC, a U.S.-based manufacturer of silicon carbide power semiconductors. The deal broadens Qorvo's presence into fast-growing areas such as circuit protection, electric vehicles (EVs), renewables, industrial power, and data center power.
