ROHM Group Company SiCrystal and
STMicroelectronics Announce Multi-Year Silicon
Carbide Wafer Supply Agreement
Agreement will boost industrial flexibility and
support commercial expansion of SiC products in automotive and
industrial applications
Kyoto, Japan and Geneva,
Switzerland, January 15, 2020 – ROHM
(TSE: 6963) and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, today announced it signed a multi-year
silicon carbide (SiC) wafers supply agreement with SiCrystal, a
ROHM group company having a top share of SiC wafers in Europe. The
agreement governs the supply of over 120 million dollars of
advanced 150mm silicon carbide wafers by SiCrystal to
STMicroelectronics during this period of demand ramp-up for silicon
carbide power devices.
“This additional long-term SiC substrate supply agreement comes
on top of the external capacity we have already secured and the
internal capacity we are ramping. It will enable ST to increase the
volume and balance of the wafers we will need to meet the strong
demand ramp-up from customers for automotive and industrial
programs over the next years”, said Jean-Marc Chery, President and
CEO of STMicroelectronics.
“SiCrystal is a group company of ROHM, a leading company of SiC,
and has been manufacturing SiC wafers for many years. We are very
pleased to enter into this supply agreement with our longstanding
customer ST. We will continue to support our partner to expand
silicon carbide business by ramping up wafer quantities
continuously and by providing reliable quality at all times”, said
Dr. Robert Eckstein, President and CEO of SiCrystal, a ROHM group
company.
The adoption of power solutions with SiCs is accelerating in
both the automotive and industrial markets. With this agreement,
the two companies will contribute to the widespread use of SiC in
these markets.
