Infineon extends Wolfspeed wafer deal to 8-inch silicon carbide

Infineon Technologies has lined up 8-inch silicon carbide (SiC) wafers from Wolfspeed under an expanded and extended long-term supply agreement. The deal gives the German chipmaker another source of the larger substrates it needs to convert its SiC fabs. It gives the US materials supplier a commitment from a top-tier customer about a year after its financial restructuring.
