TipWhy This Matters

The big new 2025 entrant in Chinese SiC: a ¥20 billion Wuhan Optics Valley IDM base (contracted August 2023) that broke ground within two months and produced its first 6-inch automotive-grade SiC wafer on 28 May 2025 — 21 months, billed as China’s largest SiC device fab, ~30% of domestic wafer capacity at full rate. First-product yield was reported at 97%; ramp to 3,500 wafers/month was the stated end-2025 target.

Chinese name: 长飞先进半导体(武汉)有限公司 (Chángfēi Xiānjìn Bàndǎotǐ (Wǔhàn))

What does this facility make?

SiC MOSFET wafers (fully automated plant, ~80 line operators on four-shift rotation) and power modules for EV main drives — plus the Wuhu base’s 60,000 wafers/year.

Why does it matter?

A telecom-fiber company’s pivot (长飞光纤) into power semis via acquisition and greenfield scale — and after a >¥1 billion A+ round (February 2026, Jiangcheng Fund/Changjiang Industrial lead), management expects its SiC chips in customer vehicles from H2 2026 — the newest test of whether a late entrant can beat the SiC glut narrative.
