Wolfspeed, Inc. is a US-based semiconductor company that specializes in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies. The company operates through two primary revenue segments: Power Products and Materials Products. Its Materials segment produces SiC bare wafers and epitaxial wafers, which are sold to other chipmakers and used internally. The Power Products segment manufactures finished semiconductor devices, such as SiC Schottky diodes and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). These components are critical for high-voltage and high-temperature applications, including electric vehicle drivetrains, fast-charging infrastructure, AI data center power supplies, and solar inverters. Originally founded as Cree, Inc. in 1987 with a focus on LED technology, the company rebranded to Wolfspeed in 2021 to reflect its pure-play focus on wide-bandgap semiconductor solutions.
