The Silicon Carbide Takeover in Power Chips
from Semiconductor News with Fexingo: Chips, Foundries, and the Global Semiconductor Industry · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna dive into silicon carbide (SiC) as the material reshaping power semiconductors. With EVs, solar inverters, and data centers demanding higher efficiency, companies like Wolfspeed and STMicroelectronics are betting big on SiC wafers. Lucas explains why the substrate bottleneck is driving a wave of multi-billion dollar supply deals, and why the shift from silicon to SiC could cut energy losses by half in high-voltage applications. Luna questions whether the hype is ahead of yields. They reference Texas Instruments' recent gross margin pressure and the SOXX ETF's 5.9% weekly gain as broader context. No ads, just the story of why your next car charger will be built on a different kind of chip. #SiliconCarbide #PowerSemiconductors #Wolfspeed #STMicroelectronics #SiC #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #GaN #WideBandgap #EnergyEfficiency #ChipManufacturing #SubstrateBottleneck #Technology #SemiconductorIndustry #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #May2026 #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
