Navitas licenses its GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) silicon carbide technology to Magnachip, enabling the South Korean chipmaker to enter high-voltage (1200V–3300V+) and ultra-high-voltage SiC power markets. Magnachip gains access to Navitas' SiC supply chain and materials ecosystem to accelerate market entry across energy infrastructure, grids, storage, industrial electrification and automotive applications.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, Clean Energy and Energy Storage, and 2 sources have reported it between 24 Jul 2026 and 26 Jul 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make power conversion components for grids, EVs or industrial systems, SiC just became cheaper to design around. Magnachip now has a second-source pathway to Navitas' proven stack, and supply chain access—that competition drives down licensing fees and qualification cycles for anyone building on top of these chips.
