Silicon Carbide Manufacturing Leadership
Increasing capacity to address steepening demand
Five Investments Bolstering Our Industry-Leading Manufacturing Position
We have $6.5B in CapEx committed through 2027 for:
- Expanding our existing Durham, NC materials facility
- Building the “The John Palmour Manufacturing Center for Silicon Carbide” in Siler City, NC
- Ramping the world’s first 200 mm Silicon Carbide fab in Mohawk Valley (Marcy, NY)
- A planned second 200 mm fab in Saarland, Germany
- Establishing multi-site epitaxy footprint with purchase of Farmers Branch, TX epi facility
