Agreement
Kyoto, Japan and Geneva, Switzerland, April 22, 2024
– ROHM (TSE: 6963) and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a
global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum
of electronics applications, announced today the expansion of the
existing multi-year, long-term 150mm silicon carbide (SiC)
substrate wafers supply agreement with SiCrystal, a ROHM group
company. The new multi-year agreement governs the supply of larger
volumes of SiC substrate wafers manufactured in Nuremberg, Germany,
for a minimum expected value of $230 million.
Geoff West, EVP and Chief Procurement Officer,
STMicroelectronics, commented “This expanded agreement with
SiCrystal will bring additional volumes of 150mm SiC substrate
wafers to support our devices manufacturing capacity ramp-up for
automotive and industrial customers worldwide. It helps strengthen
our supply chain resilience for future growth, with a balanced mix
of in-house and commercial supply across regions”.
“SiCrystal is a group company of ROHM, a leading company of SiC,
and has been manufacturing SiC substrate wafers for many years. We
are very pleased to extend this supply agreement with our
longstanding customer ST. We will continue to support our partner
to expand SiC business by ramping up 150mm SiC substrate wafer
quantities continuously and by always providing reliable quality”.
said Dr. Robert Eckstein, President and CEO of SiCrystal, a ROHM
group company.
Energy-efficient SiC power semiconductors enable electrification
in the automotive and industrial sectors in a more sustainable way.
By facilitating more efficient energy generation, distribution and
storage, SiC supports the transition to cleaner mobility solutions,
lower emissions industrial processes and a greener energy future,
as well as more reliable power supplies for resource-intensive
infrastructure like data centers dedicated to AI applications. More
