"Uniroyal also has bought its own SiC supply"

Who did they buy from? CREE or ? I agree with your statements about CREE's supply constraints. I REALLY wish CREE would license out some of their patent technology and pick up royalties for every scrap of SiC made using their less expensive methods. In the mean time we will have to be patient as more mfg. facilities and the 3" wafers come on line.

Fatboy: You say that "As far as ramp speed CREE and Uniroyal seem to be neck and neck" is ludicrous. Uniroyal is still nine months away from volume commercial quantities of blue sapphire LED's and has never produced SiC in quantity or quality suitable for LED's. Did you listen to the last conf call...?! It is like saying that the Ugandian hockey team is going to beat the Russians in the next olympics.
