InventChip

What InventChip does

InventChip (上海瞻芯电子科技股份有限公司) is a Shanghai-based Chinese semiconductor company founded in 2017 that designs and supplies silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. Its product portfolio spans discrete SiC devices (MOSFETs and Schottky Barrier Diodes), integrated SiC power modules, gate driver ICs, and power controller chips, marketed as a one-stop chip solution covering the full power conversion chain ('generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and consumption'). Underlying technology includes SiC MOSFET and SBD device design, power module packaging, and specialized driver/controller ICs that optimize SiC switching behavior.

The company serves electric vehicle manufacturers and charging infrastructure operators, solar and wind renewable energy systems, data center and telecom power supplies, industrial applications (motor drives, induction heating, welding), and emerging grid-edge applications such as solid-state transformers and microgrids. The stated long-term vision is to become a world-class Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) of high-performance power and analog circuits, implying vertical integration from wafer processing through modules and control ICs.

InventChip generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of discrete SiC devices, modules, and driver/control ICs, supported by an online sample-purchase channel for engineering evaluation and direct enterprise sales for volume OEM engagements. Distribution is currently domestic China, with online sample purchasing and direct sales as the primary channels. The investor base is anchored by state-owned capital (China Development Bank, Beijing State-owned Capital, SDIC) and strategic downstream OEM customers (SAIC Motor, Sungrow, Ginlong Technologies, AISWEI), indicating demand-aligned capital rather than purely financial sponsorship.
