CDIL becomes first Indian company to make Silicon Carbide devices
Continental Device India Private Limited (CDIL) became the nation's first to manufacture silicon carbide devices with the establishment of their Surface Mount Semiconductor Packaging Line with an investment of around Rs.30 crore at their Mohali plant on Thursday. The expansion of assembly lines will increase CDIL’s total capacity at the facility to 600 million units annually.
With the anticipated surge in electric vehicles (EVs), power management devices and solar-powered panels, globally as well as in India, and their increased reliance on wide band gap electronics, CDIL said it has identified and laid focus on Silicon Carbide (SiC) products.
