<<Also at ICSCRM '99, the company introduced the immediate availability of 3 inch on-axis silicon carbide wafers. Additional 3 inch SiC wafer varieties will be added to the product family. 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. Dr. Calvin H. Carter, Executive Vice President and Director of Materials Technology, and co-founder of the company, stated, "We are extremely excited about the introduction of our new 3 inch SiC wafer and the demonstration of our 4 inch wafer. We anticipate that the larger size wafers will ultimately provide economies of scale by increasing the number of chips per wafer which are expected to lower the cost per device." Carter added, "Cree is the only company known to be using 3 inch SiC wafers for production or to demonstrate a 4 inch SiC wafer. We expect our research efforts will continue to accelerate advances in SiC materials technology." North Carolina based Cree, Inc. is the world leader in developing and manufacturing semiconductor materials and electronic devices made from silicon carbide. The company uses proprietary technology to make enabling compound semiconductors such as blue and green LEDs, microwave transistors for use in wireless base stations and radar, SiC crystals used in the production of unique gemstones and SiC wafers that are sold for research. Cree has new product initiatives based on its expertise in SiC, including blue laser diodes for optical storage applications and high power devices for power conditioning and switching.
