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.

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 gear for grid or industrial systems, Magnachip just became a second-source for SiC switching at scale. Navitas validated the market; now there's competition on supply and price.
