New 12-Inch SiC Wafer Launched, Driving a Revolution in High-Performance Semiconductor Industry

Shanghai, February 20, 2025 — Shanghai Famous Trade Co., Ltd. is excited to announce the launch of its new 12-inch (300mm) Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafer, marking a significant breakthrough in the field of high-performance semiconductor materials. Designed for advanced semiconductor applications, this product meets the strict requirements of both research and production environments, and is widely used in industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), power electronics, and radio frequency (RF) technology.

Key Features of the High-Performance SiC Wafer

The new 12-inch SiC wafer features a 4H-N crystal orientation and a thickness of 750±25µm, offering exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Compared to traditional silicon materials, SiC’s high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and excellent electron mobility allow it to operate at higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies, greatly improving device efficiency and reliability.

• Material Advantages: SiC has a wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, and high voltage tolerance, making it ideal for high-power, high-temperature electronic devices, such as power MOSFETs and power diodes.
• Mechanical Properties: SiC’s hardness and stiffness far exceed traditional silicon materials, enhancing the durability and structural integrity of devices.
• Wide Applications: The new 12-inch SiC wafer is particularly suited for high-performance requirements in electric vehicles, power electronics, high-frequency communications, LED lighting, and more, driving progress in industries like new energy vehicles, renewable energy, and industrial power systems.
