4. Sanan Optoelectronics plans to set up a joint venture with STMicroelectronics to produce silicon carbide wafers in Chongqing

  CHONGQING, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 7, Sanan Optoelectronics, China's leading compound semiconductor manufacturing platform, and STMicroelectronics, a leading global semiconductor company, announced that they have signed an agreement to build a new 8-inch silicon carbide device manufacturing facility in Chongqing, China. At the same time, Sanan Optoelectronics will establish an 8-inch silicon carbide substrate factory as a supporting facility wholly-owned locally.

  The joint venture will be controlled by Sanan Optoelectronics and tentatively named "Sanan STMicroelectronics (Chongqing) Co., Ltd.", with Hunan Sanan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanan Optoelectronics, holding 51% of the shares and STMicroelectronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd. holding 49%. With an estimated investment of $3.2 billion, construction is scheduled to begin pending regulatory approval, with start-up scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full production expected in 2028, using ST's patented silicon carbide manufacturing technology capable of producing 10,000 8-inch silicon carbide wafers per week. Sanan Optoelectronics' wholly-owned 8-inch silicon carbide substrate plant in Chongqing plans to invest about 7 billion yuan, and will be built and operated independently using its own silicon carbide substrate technology to meet the substrate needs of the joint venture plant, and sign a long-term supply agreement with it.

  Lin Kechuang, general manager of Sanan Optoelectronics, said: "The establishment of this joint venture plant will inject new strength into China's silicon carbide market, and we will give full play to our respective advantages, expand production capacity supply, effectively promote the wide application of silicon carbide devices in the market, and promote the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry." This also reflects that Sanan Optoelectronics' silicon carbide business has been fully recognized by international customers, which is an important step towards our goal of world-class professional silicon carbide wafer foundry. With the establishment of new joint venture plants and substrate plants, we are confident that we will continue to have a strong position in the silicon carbide foundry market." "

  Jean-Marc Chery, President and CEO of STMicroelectronics, said: "As China's automotive and industrial sectors move at full speed toward electrification, the establishment of a dedicated wafer fab with key partners in China will help us meet the growing needs of our Chinese customers in the most efficient way." By combining Sanan Optoelectronics' future 8-inch substrate manufacturing facility, our new front-end joint venture manufacturing facility, and ST's existing back-end manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, we will be able to provide Chinese customers with a fully vertically integrated silicon carbide value chain." This move is also an important step in further expanding our global SiC manufacturing business, following continued significant investments in Italy and Singapore. "

  The silicon carbide track is very hot, and new energy vehicles are one of the main application markets of silicon carbide and the core growth engine of the industry in recent years. Silicon carbide materials have the advantages of high voltage resistance and high temperature resistance, and silicon carbide power devices are widely used, which can improve the charging efficiency of new energy vehicles, achieve longer cruising range with the same power, improve the driving performance of the whole vehicle, and solve the double anxiety of "slow charging" and "short mileage". According to Yole data, the global silicon carbide power device market size is expected to grow from $1.09 billion in 2021 to $6.297 billion in 2027, with an average annual compound growth rate of 34%. The cooperation between the two silicon carbide industry giants has attracted much attention from the industry and the market. (Source: Hunan Sanan Semiconductor)
