DB HiTek is preparing to mass produce its 8-inch silicon carbide (SiC) wafer foundry with production targeted for the first half of 2027, entering direct competition with SK keyfoundry. The company has completed reliability verification of its third-generation SiC MOSFET and aims to shorten semiconductor design time with its new process design kit.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

SiC chip founders competing or supplying production will face new local capacity from DB HiTek next year, shifting buyer options. You need to engage DB HiTek or SK keyfoundry customers now before production ramps and your entry barriers rise.
