Re: Cree

Q: What's going to eliminate that constraint?
A: Increased manufacturing capability.

Q: Why will manufacturing capability increase?
A: Factories are being built. Licensing the manufacturing technology may add more capacity.


Mike, if I understand correctly, there is one other factor that may relieve manufacturing capacity constraints: they are transitioning from 2" wafers to 3" and possibly 4" wafers. According to the company's website:
Theoretically, 3 inch SiC wafers can more than double the number of chips per wafer over existing 2 inch technology. This is expected to significantly reduce the cost of devices made from SiC and has the potential to enable the company to increase volume to meet the high demand for its products.
