Wolfspeed and LITEON Technology Corporation have announced a strategic partnership to develop 800 VDC power solutions for next-generation AI data centres. LITEON has successfully qualified Wolfspeed's silicon carbide MOSFETs for deployment in its 800 VDC power sidecar and compute rack power supply platforms. The collaboration targets leading hyperscale customers and cloud service providers deploying AI infrastructure. Wolfspeed's silicon carbide technology enables more efficient power delivery whilst reducing material costs and simplifying procurement. The partnership leverages Wolfspeed's 200mm silicon carbide manufacturing platform to provide supply chain resilience and scalable volume production. The 800 VDC power architecture addresses data centre priorities including energy efficiency, power density, scalability and total cost of ownership for applications such as power supply units and battery backup units.

EU's von der Leyen hails Infineon factory as chip production milestone for Europe. 3 years ago Read Time: 1 Minute, 45 Second European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday hailed the construction of a new factory by Germany's Infineon a milestone in mass chip production as Europe tries to capture a larger slice of the strategic industry. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of Infineon's factory in the German city of Dresden, von der Leyen said it was a step in Europe's goal of doubling its share of global chip production to 20% by 2030 by quadrupling its current capacity. But she warned that Europe was still too dependent for raw materials on individual suppliers, citing in particular that China has a 76% share of producing the silicon metals needed in chip production. The European Union wants to catch up with Asia and the United States and reduce its reliance on Asia at a time of heightened tensions between Taipei and Beijing. The bloc last month agreed a 43-billion-euro ($47 billion) chip subsidies plan in a bid to secure supplies of critical components after COVID-19 lockdowns caused shortages that hurt output of everything from phones to cars and refrigerators. "We are all experiencing how drastically geopolitical risks have grown. This is why it is vital that we in Europe strengthen the supply chains of our most important goods and technologies," von der Leyen said in a speech. "This also means broadening our position when it comes to chips and having more of our own capacity available. For semiconductors, which are so vital, we need more mass production here in Europe." Infineon expects production at the 5-billion-euro semiconductor plant, the largest investment in the company's history, to start in 2026. Other chip manufacturers are also currently investing in Germany. The US group Wolfspeed is building a plant in Saarland, investing 2.75 billion euros. Intel is building a large factory in Magdeburg.

Wolfspeed has appointed Andy W. Mattes to its board of directors, effective immediately. Mattes brings over 40 years of experience in the semiconductor and technology industries, having previously served as CEO of Coherent and Diebold Nixdorf, with senior roles at Hewlett Packard, Siemens, and McKinsey & Company. He currently serves on the boards of AT&S AG, ams OSRAM AG, and Cohu, Inc. Wolfspeed CEO Robert Feurle said Mattes's strategic perspective and industry expertise would be invaluable as the company executes its strategic priorities and reinforces its market leadership in silicon carbide technology. Mattes expressed excitement about joining during this pivotal time, noting Wolfspeed's leadership in silicon carbide addresses critical needs across power electronics, electrification, and energy efficiency.
