Alternative Options: For domestic alternatives, attention can be directed to Huazhong Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, and BASiC, as these domestic manufacturers have the technology to replace most SiC MOSFET suppliers in the U.S.

1. AOS (Alpha and Omega Semiconductor)

Cooperation Details: AOS is headquartered in Silicon Valley, USA, and its SiC MOSFET product line is primarily produced by X-FAB. Additionally, AOS plans to establish its own SiC production line at the J-Fab facility in the U.S., but currently relies on X-FAB for manufacturing.

2. Pionics Semiconductor

Cooperation Details: Pionics, as a third-generation semiconductor power device design company, has its SiC MOSFET products manufactured by X-FAB.

3. M-MOS Semiconductor (acquired by X-FAB)

Historical Cooperation: Before being acquired by X-FAB, M-MOS, as a fabless company, had its MOSFET wafers for industrial, consumer, and automotive markets primarily produced by X-FAB. M-MOS also possesses GaN-on-Si technology capabilities.

Integration Status: In January 2024, X-FAB completed the acquisition of M-MOS for €22.5 million, aiming to strengthen its technology and market layout in the discrete device business. Currently, M-MOS’s R&D capabilities have been integrated into the X-FAB system.

Other Potential Clients

X-FAB, as a SiC foundry in the U.S., serves clients across the automotive, industrial, and energy sectors. Although some clients are not explicitly listed in the search results, their 2024 financial report indicates a downturn in the SiC business.
