Device and equipment manufacturers both do a sizable amount of business in the 200mm sector. The 200mm (8-inch) diameter wafers used in today’s production of chips come from more than 200 fabs throughout the world. These 200mm fabs are used by chipmakers to produce chips using established methods, spanning from the 350nm to the 90nm nodes.
The global 200mm fab equipment market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony with participation from federal and state officials marked the formal opening of Wolfspeed, Inc., the world leader in Silicon Carbide technology and production,. The industry-wide switch from silicon to Silicon Carbide-based semiconductors will be led by the 200mm wafer fab. The world’s first and largest automated 200mm Silicon Carbide fab, the Mohawk Valley facility offers uncompromised wafer quality and better yield. The Mohawk Valley device pipeline will be essential for Wolfspeed and the worldwide semiconductor industry.
The 200mm fab at SSMC targets high volume CMOS system on chip solutions and has a workforce of about 1,000 workers. Only when the first piece of process machinery was installed did it begin to manufacture silicon. The overall wafer processing space is 10,000m2, and the gross floor area is above 90,000m2.
First commercial billing was received just 17 months after groundbreaking, demonstrating that the market can support a second 200mm CMOS fab. The production cycle time and yields from the new fab compare with the best that either business has ever achieved, according to Philips Semiconductors and TSMC.
