STMicroelectronics: agreement extended with Germany's SiCrystal

(CercleFinance.com) - STMicroelectronics announced on Monday that it has extended its agreement for the supply of silicon carbide (SiC) wafers with SiCrystal, a subsidiary of the German industrial group Rohm.


The new multi-year agreement covers the supply of higher volumes of 150 mm SiC substrates, which SiCrystal manufactures in Nuremberg, in a contract worth at least $230m.

STMicroelectronics explains that this partnership will enable it to benefit from additional volumes to support the increase in its production capacities in the automotive and industrial sectors.

Energy-efficient SiC power semiconductors enable the electrification of the automotive and industrial sectors through more efficient and sustainable processes.

They can also power resource-hungry infrastructures such as data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence applications.
