UnitedSiC

In 1999, a small team of researchers at Rutgers University founded UnitedSiC. In 2010, UnitedSiC built a pilot production cleanroom near Princeton NJ, to enhance the SiC processes to the stage where they could be directly installed in a commercial foundry. At this point, UnitedSiC became a fabless company, focusing their resources on product design, R & D and customer support. On November 3, 2021, Qorvo announced the acquisition of UnitedSiC, with UnitedSiC becoming part of Qorvo’s Infrastructure & Defense Products (IDP) business. The UnitedSiC technology, together with Qorvo’s complementary Programmable Power Management products and world-class supply chain capabilities, will enable UnitedSiC to deliver superior levels of power efficiency in the most advanced applications. Customers around the world are now using the UnitedSiC FET, JFET and Schottky diode devices in new electric vehicle (EV) chargers, AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies, solid-state circuit breakers, variable speed motor drives and solar PV inverters.
