What SiCSem does

SiCSem Private Limited is a pre-revenue integrated device manufacturer (IDM) building India's first commercial Silicon Carbide (SiC) compound semiconductor fabrication facility in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, with corporate headquarters and product design center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The company produces four core product lines — MOSFETs (650V to 3300V), diodes (650V to 1700V), power modules (Half Bridge and Full Bridge at 900V to 1700V), and Known Good Die — targeting electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, data centers, 5G/6G telecommunications, aerospace and defense, and industrial equipment applications. Manufacturing scope spans the full SiC value chain: in-house crystal growth starting from raw materials, a class 10 cleanroom fab for wafer processing, and an ATMP (Assembly, Test, Mark, Package) facility for discrete devices and power modules, with planned ramp from 60,000 wafers and 96 million packaged dies per year at launch to 420,000 wafers and 420 million packaged dies by 2046.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales of semiconductor devices directly to OEMs and system integrators, with custom pricing based on specifications and volumes (no publicly disclosed pricing). Revenue, when generated, will flow from hardware sales of MOSFETs, diodes, power modules, and bare die to customers in EV powertrain electronics, DC fast charging infrastructure, solar/wind power conversion, and adjacent verticals. The company holds an exclusive licensing agreement with UK-based Clas-SiC Wafer Fab Ltd for proprietary SiC wafer fabrication technology and operates a joint R&D laboratory (SiCRIC) with IIT Bhubaneswar. SiCSem is a wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly listed Archean Chemical Industries Limited (NSE/BSE, market cap over USD 1 billion), with capital deployment of approximately Rs 2,067 crore (~$245 million) approved under the India Semiconductor Mission. The facility broke ground in November 2025 and is not expected to reach commercial production until 2027-28.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and flagship.

• India Semiconductor Mission (ISM)coreOthers · 13 May 2026India Semiconductor Mission is the government program providing fiscal support and approval for SiCSem's Rs 2,067 crore Silicon Carbide fabrication facility under the Semicon India Programme. The ISM provides financial incentives and regulatory framework for India's semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
• Clas-SiC Wafer Fab Ltd (UK)flagshipTechnology or Integration · 1 November 2025UK-based Clas-SiC Wafer Fab Ltd partnered with SiCSem to establish India's first commercial compound semiconductor fabrication facility in Bhubaneswar. The partnership provides SiCSem access to proprietary SiC wafer fabrication technology and manufacturing processes through an exclusive licensing agreement. This collaboration positions India in the global compound semiconductor supply chain.
• IIT BhubaneswarcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 November 2025SiCSem collaborates with IIT Bhubaneswar through multiple initiatives including the Silicon Carbide Research and Innovation Center (SiCRIC) joint industry laboratory, SiC crystal growth pilot line for 200mm wafers at the campus, and research lab for building the compound semiconductor ecosystem in India.

Broad incumbents

• Infineon Technologies: Global power semiconductor leader with CoolSiC MOSFETs and EasyPACK/EconoDUAL modules. Competes with SiCSem across EV, renewable, industrial, and rail applications.
• Microchip Technology: Diversified semiconductor supplier with SiC and silicon power discrete/module offerings. Comparable as an established IDM competing for the same EV, renewable, and industrial design wins.
• ROHM Semiconductor: Japanese SiC pioneer (SiC MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, and integrated modules). Comparable product breadth and focus on high-voltage SiC discretes/modules for automotive and industrial.
• STMicroelectronics: Major SiC MOSFET and module supplier via its STPOWER portfolio, partnered with Tesla and other EV OEMs. Overlaps SiCSem's product range (discretes + modules) and target markets (EV traction, renewable inverters).
• onsemi (ON Semiconductor): Acquired GT Advanced Technologies to vertically integrate SiC, now shipping SiC MOSFETs and modules into EV and renewable customers. Closely comparable end-to-end IDM strategy to SiCSem.
• Renesas Electronics: Broad-line power semiconductor supplier expanding into SiC for EV and industrial. Competes with SiCSem in industrial and automotive power modules and discrete MOSFETs.

Direct peers

• SK Siltron CSS: Acquired DuPont's SiC wafer business and is expanding SiC substrate capacity. A natural upstream/downstream comparable given SiCSem's in-house crystal growth and 200mm wafer roadmap.
• Wolfspeed: Pure-play SiC power semiconductor IDM and the global SiC capacity leader. Directly comparable to SiCSem on SiC MOSFETs, diodes, and wafer fab ambition, though at far greater scale.

Others

• Resonac (formerly Showa Denko): Major SiC epitaxial wafer supplier serving global SiC IDMs. Relevant peer because SiCSem's 200mm crystal growth and wafer roadmap puts it in a similar upstream SiC materials supplier/competitor role.

Emerging players

• Navitas Semiconductor: Emerging power-semi company spanning GaN and SiC for EV, data center, and renewable applications. Comparable as a newer entrant in compound-semiconductor power electronics competing for similar sockets.
