The announcement was made at this year’s Semicon Southeast Asia 2025 (SEMICON SEA), back for its 30th edition, with the three-day event featuring over 1,400 booths from 700 local and international exhibitors under the theme of ‘Strong together – collaborating to navigate uncertainties and fostering resilience’.
Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has announced the launch of the world's first industry-grade 200 millimetre silicon carbide open research and development (R&D) line to enable and accelerate silicon carbide (SiC) innovation.
Launched under A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) arm, the open R&D line addresses key challenges faced in the development of SiC devices and increases the speed of R&D by eliminating fragmented processes that previously required researchers and companies to work with multiple facilities.
