Tokai Carbon will supply 150mm and 200mm poly-SiC substrates designed for Soitec SmartSiC wafers

Semiconductor materials firm Soitec and Tokai Carbon, a maker of carbon and graphite products, have entered into a strategic partnership for the development and supply of polycrystalline SiC substrates specifically designed for Soitec SmartSiC wafers.

Under this partnership, Tokai Carbon will supply 150mm and 200mm poly-SiC wafers to Soitec.

Cyril Menon, Chief Operations Officer of Soitec, said: “This partnership with Tokai marks yet another key step in the ramp-up of Soitec’s SmartSiC technology to address fast-growing markets such as electric mobility and industrial electrification. Tokai’s top quality SiC products and R&D capabilities, combined with Soitec’s innovative SmartSiC technology, can help to accelerate global adoption of electric mobility and other SiC technologies. This is an important milestone in terms of perception and value creation for the SmartSiC ecosystem.”

Hajime Nagasaka, CEO of Tokai Carbon, commented. “The polycrystalline SiC substrate to be supplied to Soitec is a strategic product in our solid SiC product series. We are pleased to see our long years of research and development come to fruition in this way, and we have high expectations for this product in the SiC semiconductor market, which is expected to expand significantly in the future. The partnership with Soitec is also very meaningful in terms of contributing to the realisation of a sustainable society.”
