4 Inch SiC Wafer Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2032
The global 4 Inch SiC Wafer market was valued at 198 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 156 million by 2032, at a CAGR of -3.4% during the forecast period.
Silicon carbide is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula SiC. It is made of raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), and sawdust (salt is needed to produce green silicon carbide) through high-temperature smelting in a resistance furnace. Silicon carbide is a semiconductor that exists in nature in the form of the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Since 1893, it has been mass-produced as powder and crystals for use as abrasives, etc. Among non-oxide high-tech refractory raw materials such as C, N, and B, silicon carbide is the most widely used and economical one, which can be called diamond sand or refractory sand.
Wafer refers to the cutting, grinding, and polishing of crystals along a specific crystal direction to obtain a clean single wafer with specific crystal planes and appropriate electrical, optical, and mechanical properties for growing epitaxial layers. Silicon carbide wafer is the core material of the newly developed wide bandgap semiconductor. The devices made with it have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, high voltage resistance, high frequency, high power, and radiation resistance. It has the advantages of fast switching speed and high efficiency, which can greatly reduce product power consumption, improve energy conversion efficiency, and reduce product volume.
A 4-inch silicon carbide wafer is a single silicon carbide wafer with a diameter of 100 mm and a thickness of 350 ?m. This wafer has many excellent physical and chemical properties, making it widely used in the manufacture of electronic devices. As the size of silicon carbide wafers continues to expand, 6-inch wafers will become mainstream.
From the perspective of the global silicon carbide wafer material market, Wolfspeed, Coherent, Rohm and others still dominate the industry. However, in recent years, my country's silicon carbide material market has also been very hot. Chip manufacturers such as Shanxi Shuoke, Tianke Heda, Shandong Tianyue, Hebei Tongguang, and Sanan Optoelectronics have all achieved mass production. In the global 4-inch silicon carbide wafer market, Wolfspeed, Tianke Heda, and Tianyue Advanced occupy most of the global market share.
