AI data centre-driven power semiconductor market enters new phase as 8-inch SiC shift accelerates
Chinese power semiconductor companies that expanded market share with low-priced supply have begun raising prices, a shift expected to accelerate South Korean companies\' move to 8-inch (200 mm) silicon carbide wafers. Global leaders are also lifting prices as AI data centre demand spreads supply shortages to MLCCs and power semiconductors. Domestic firms are lining up GaN and SiC production plans. The industry faces complex SiC processes and yield challenges, while the government is upgrading public fab infrastructure in the south and planning integrated R&D.

DB HiTek to transfer used equipment free of charge to public nanofabs
DB HiTek will transfer idle used semiconductor equipment free of charge to nanofab institutes participating in the MoaFab platform, the Ministry of Science and ICT said. The equipment will be used for core semiconductor process R&D and technology demonstration support. An 8-inch high-temperature heat-treatment deposition tool will be installed at the National Nanofab Center, and an 8-inch dry etching and surface-coating tool will go to the Nano Convergence Technology Institute.

MSIT to expand national nanofab integrated system to 14 institutions
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT said it will expand participating institutions in Moa Fab, a national nanofab integrated information system, to 14 from 6. Moa Fab links public nanofab facilities and supports researchers and companies throughout R&D and commercialisation, offering unified applications and management, real-time monitoring and equipment information. Eight additional institutions will join from January. The ministry said service efficiency has improved and it is also running a public-private council to strengthen semiconductor competitiveness.
