Wolfspeed, Inc.

Wolfspeed, Inc. stands as a prominent technology firm, specializing in the development and production of advanced light-emitting diode (LED) and semiconductor offerings. These sophisticated solutions cater to critical power and radio-frequency (RF) applications, serving a global client base that spans the United States, China, Europe, and other international markets. The company operates through two distinct divisions: its namesake Wolfspeed segment and the LED Products segment. 1. Wolfspeed Segment: This division is primarily focused on pioneering silicon carbide (SiC) materials, which find application in diverse fields such as RF systems, power switching, and even the creation of synthetic gemstones. Furthermore, it is a key manufacturer of high-performance SiC power devices, including Schottky diodes, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), robust power modules, and specialized gate driver boards. These components are essential for demanding sectors like electric vehicle charging infrastructure, server power supplies, solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies, various industrial power applications, and more. Beyond SiC, this segment also provides gallium nitride (GaN) components, such as die products, high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), and laterally diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) power transistors. These GaN innovations are crucial for telecommunications infrastructure, military equipment, and other commercial endeavors. The company also extends its expertise by offering custom manufacturing services for GaN HEMTs and MMICs. 2. LED Products Segment: This segment is dedicated to crafting blue and green LED chip products. These chips are integral to a wide array of visual technologies, including video screens, gaming displays, functional indicator lights, and various automotive lighting applications such as backlights, headlamps, and directional signals. Additionally, this division supplies XLamp LED components and complete LED modules designed for general illumination purposes. It further offers a range of surface mount and through-hole packaged LED products, which are vital for signage, video displays, comprehensive general illumination, transportation systems, gaming devices, and specialized lighting installations. Founded in 1987, Wolfspeed, Inc. maintains its corporate headquarters in Durham, North Carolina.
