Abstract
Semiconductor powerhouse Wolfspeed is nothing short of an American success story in the semiconductor manufacturing world. The company made headlines back in 2019 when it announced the selection of the Marcy Nanocenter site near Utica, NY for the construction of their state-of-the-art 200mm silicon carbide greenfield fab, part of a broader $6.5 billion global capacity expansion effort. Built in record time, the Mohawk Valley facility was inaugurated and started production in April 2022. Since then, the company has announced the construction of The John Palmour Manufacturing Center for Silicon Carbide in North Carolina to help expand the company’s existing materials capacity by more than 10-fold. This February, they also announced the expansion of the company’s global footprint with the planned construction of a 200mm SiC device manufacturing facility in Saarland, Germany in partnership with ZF to support increasing customer demand as well as the company’s long-term revenue outlook of $4 billion in fiscal year 2027.
