It would appear that CREE is in the most enviable of positions. While it is regularly enfused with cash from the government and private partners to pursue possible uses of SiC, it simultaniously holds the only feasible means of producing the product in volume. As it is PAID by others to determine if new products are feasible in a variety of remarkably different venues (LEDs, Power Transmission, Gemstones, etc.) which will build demand, it then stimulates such demand further by enhancing the technological advantages (producing ever brighter LEDs for example )and by managing retail costs (recent reduction in price charged for 2inch wafers). After evidencing the advantages of its product, and establishing it is cost efficient, it allocates product to keep customers "hooked" while it has time to triple production capacity. Customers are assured more output of ever higher quality product at reasonable cost...none of which harms CREE margins. Meanwhile, competition is five years behind.

Nice business.
