Silicon Carbide Stocks and Leader (Korea)

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound semiconductor material used for power conversion in high-voltage and high-temperature environments. This theme groups listed companies that design and develop SiC power devices or pursue business opportunities in related materials and processes. While focusing on companies with confirmed grounds for SiC operations over conventional power semiconductor products, it is important to distinguish between companies with commercialized products and those in the R&D stage.

KEC spearheaded the early development of SiC MOSFETs, and IA disclosed the SiC power semiconductor supply business of its affiliate, Trinno Technology. Sigetronics is conducting R&D on SiC power devices, while DB HiTek is working on high-power SiC device technology development and mass-production feasibility reviews. NanoCMS is pursuing a SiC power semiconductor materials business. Since the proportion of SiC-related revenue and the stage of mass production vary among these companies, inclusion in this theme does not guarantee increased revenue or investment returns.
