The shift from conventional silicon toward wide bandgap substrates for power applications isn’t without its challenges.
The shift from conventional silicon toward wide bandgap (WBG) substrates for power applications, predominantly Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN), isn’t without its challenges.
The supply chain for WBG solutions is now maturing, which means we’re seeing consolidation, acquisition and even some attrition.
This turbulence, while a cause for concern, is predictable and surmountable. Confidence in WBG technology remains high, but the market conditions and geopolitical risks must be acknowledged as contributing factors.
