In a meeting at the YASC headquarters, the team of China Huaxin directors learned details about YASC’s business layout, technical strength and main products. Chen Zhongguo, President of YASC, introduced to the research team that the company has an annual capacity of 60,000 6-inch silicon carbine (SiC) MOSFET or SBD epitaxial and bare wafers. In the meanwhile, YASC officially held the Wuhan Base groundbreaking ceremony on September 1. The Wuhan Base project can produce 360,000 SiC MOSFET wafers a year, including epitaxy, device design, wafer manufacturing and assembly. The construction in the first phase is expected to be completed in 2025. Wuhan Base will then become the largest SiC power semiconductor manufacturing base in China, and the company will be an absolute industry leader in production capacity.
Yuan Xin, Chairman of China Huaxin, later had an in-depth discussion with the YASC team on the yield rate and market prospect of SiC products in the next few years, and provided valuable advice to the company on the strategic development positioning and the business performance improvement.
