Soitec: joint development project with Applied Materials

(CercleFinance.com) - Soitec announces a new-generation silicon carbide substrate joint development project with Applied Materials.


"Demand for silicon carbide-based chips has been rising, particularly in electric vehicles, telecommunication and industrial applications," the group said.

Soitec will leverage its proprietary Smart CutTM technology, currently used for the production of Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) products adopted by a large number of chip manufacturers, while Applied Materials will bring process technology and equipment expertise.

Thomas Piliszczuk, Executive Vice-President of Strategic Office at Soitec said, "We are convinced that Soitec's Smart CutTM technology and 30 years of experience, together with Applied Materials' great leadership in materials engineering, can enable the development of a robust technology and boost the silicon carbide supply chain."
