Navitas licenses its GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) silicon carbide technology to Magnachip across 1200V–3300V+ voltage ratings, enabling the South Korean chipmaker to enter high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power markets whilst gaining access to Navitas' supply chain and materials ecosystem. The partnership targets grid infrastructure, energy storage, industrial electrification and automotive applications.
