Noteworthy Market Acquisition to Expand Silicon Carbide Technology
In November 2024, US-based onsemi acquired Qorvo's Silicon Carbide JFET business in a move to broaden its silicon carbide product portfolio. This strategic acquisition enhances onsemi's manufacturing abilities and supports the development of advanced power semiconductor solutions tailored for electric vehicles, industrial applications, and renewable energy systems. Qorvo's Silicon Carbide JFET unit specializes in high-performance silicon carbide junction field-effect transistor technology for power conversion and energy management.

Current Innovations and Trends in Semiconductor Silicon Materials
Leading companies are focusing on developing cutting-edge silicon carbide (SiC) six-pack power modules that improve power efficiency, increase switching speeds, and support high-voltage functions. These integrated modules contain six SiC switches arranged in a three-phase inverter format, delivering superior performance for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and industrial electronics.

Significant Product Launch Showcasing Advanced SiC Technology
For example, in November 2025, Wolfspeed, Inc., a US manufacturer specializing in wide-bandgap semiconductors, introduced 1200V Silicon Carbide Six-Pack Power Modules featuring Gen 4 SiC MOSFET technology. These modules offer enhanced capabilities such as three times more power cycling capacity at operational temperatures and 15% higher inverter current than previous generations. They also provide a 22% reduction in on-resistance at 125°C, approximately 60% lower turn-on energy loss, 30% decreased switching losses, and 50% less voltage overshoot during reverse recovery.

Detailed Segmentation of the Global Semiconductor Silicon Materials Market
This market is segmented by product type into monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon. It is further divided based on product form, including wafers, ingots, powders, and granules. Diameter size categories include less than 150 millimeters, 150 to 200 millimeters, 300 millimeters, and 450 millimeters or above. Applications cover integrated circuits (IC), dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), NAND, and various other uses. End-users span electronics, energy, automotive, and other sectors.

Subcategories Within Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline Silicon
Monocrystalline silicon is further broken down into float zone silicon, Czochralski silicon, doped and undoped monocrystalline silicon, as well as high-purity monocrystalline silicon. Polycrystalline silicon includes electronic grade polysilicon, solar grade polysilicon, metallurgical grade polysilicon, chunk polysilicon, and granular polysilicon varieties.
