Aixtron’s G10-SiC CVD System Supports GlobiTech’s SiC Epitaxy Expansion

• GlobiTech Inc produces silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon epitaxial wafers, primarily focusing on serving the power and electric vehicle (EV) market segments.
• GlobiTech Inc's production facilities are located in Sherman, Texas, USA.

Aixtron SE is aiding Texas-based silicon-epitaxy foundry GlobiTech Inc's entry into the silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxy market. The G10-SiC chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system from Aixtron has enabled GlobiTech to rapidly scale SiC epitaxy production in response to growing demand for power epiwafers. Featuring dual wafer sizes (9x150mm and 6x200mm), it offers high throughput per fab space. GlobiTech's expansion confirms the trend of SiC replacing silicon in various applications. Both firms have enjoyed a fruitful partnership, with Aixtron's tools maximizing wafer output. The G10-SiC is projected to be Aixtron's top-selling product in 2023.
