Wolfspeed’s supply chain not impacted by China’s export restrictions on gallium and germanium
Wolfspeed Inc of Durham, NC, USA – which makes silicon carbide materials as well as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power-switching & RF semiconductor devices – says that, following an internal review, its supply chain will not be impacted by the export restrictions on gallium and germanium proposed by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce from 1 August.
“Wolfspeed strives to manage its supply chain with our supply partners through principles such as quality, availability, social responsibility, and cost,” states spokesperson Melinda Walker. “We appreciate that global events can lead to dynamic market conditions that will require us to periodically review our supply chain, and we will continue to do so to ensure Wolfspeed’s needs are fulfilled.”
