A core competency of X-FAB is the monolithic integration of MEMS devices with CMOS technology to meet size and performance requirements. X-FAB also offers access to one of the broadest range of manufacturing materials in the semiconductor industry. CMOS & MEMS SENSORS WLP & 3D INTEGRATION SILICON-BASED MICROFLUIDICS SiC & GaN X-FAB is the first pure-play foundry to provide comprehensive processing technologies for wide bandgap (WBG) materials Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). We are offering foundry services for those new materials on the scale of silicon, using the existing silicon manufacturing lines. We are processing GaN-on-Si wafers in our modern 8” fab in Dresden, Germany and SiC wafers in our 6” fab in Lubbock, Texas, USA. By running the non-silicon wafers on the same lines as Si-wafers, our customers have access to high-quality and cost-effective foundry solutions. It allows customers to import their projects into a stable and trusted, fully automotive-qualified fab environment which supports output levels that are comparable with silicon yields. X-FAB has a long history in processing SiC and GaN, ranging back to early 2013, with just a few customers starting to engage with those “exotic” materials. In this time, we gained significant knowledge and expertise and developed a business model that allows even less experienced customers to create their own SiC power devices or GaN HEMT devices. With our sites in Dresden and Lubbock focused on serving the growing markets, the company is fully prepared for the expected acceleration of SiC and GaN device shipments – enabling key applications, such as charging applications, electric vehicles and advanced power management systems.
