As of 2024, Wolfspeed (formerly Cree) is the leading global provider of GaN-on-SiC RF devices, commanding an estimated 35–40% share of the market. This dominance is attributed to its vertically integrated approach, which encompasses both SiC substrate production and GaN epitaxy, allowing for enhanced control over quality and cost efficiencies. Wolfspeed's GaN-on-SiC devices are widely utilized in high-frequency applications such as 5G base stations and aerospace radar systems .

Other significant players in the GaN-on-SiC RF device market include:
Qorvo: Holding a 25–30% market share, Qorvo specializes in hybrid GaN-on-SiC and RF filter integration. Its Defense & Aerospace segment contributes 35% of its GaN RF revenue, leveraging proprietary MicroShield™ packaging technology. Qorvo's diversification into automotive radar and satellite communication terminals positions it uniquely across multiple high-growth verticals .

嗯，这是他纽约工厂的问题，纽约工厂的问题是需求下降，开工不足：
Wolfspeed's Mohawk Valley facility in Marcy, New York, has encountered several significant challenges since its inception, impacting both its operational performance and financial stability.
Fox59
Operational and Financial Struggles
Underperformance of the 200mm Wafer Facility: The Mohawk Valley plant, dedicated to producing 200mm silicon carbide (SiC) wafers, has faced difficulties in ramping up production. Initially, Wolfspeed projected that 20% utilization would generate approximately $100 million in revenue. However, recent forecasts indicate that actual revenue may fall 30% to 50% below this target due to slower-than-expected demand, particularly from the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

Financial Losses and Restructuring Costs: In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, Wolfspeed reported a revenue of $181 million, down from $195 million in the previous quarter, with the Mohawk Valley facility contributing $52 million. Despite this, the facility incurred a gross loss of 21%, up from 13% in 2024, primarily due to underutilization costs amounting to $28.9 million.

Legal and Investor Concerns
Class Action Lawsuits: Investors have initiated class action lawsuits against Wolfspeed, alleging that the company misled shareholders about the performance and revenue projections of the Mohawk Valley facility. These legal actions claim that Wolfspeed's public statements did not accurately reflect the challenges and slower-than-anticipated ramp-up of the facility.

The challenges at the Mohawk Valley facility have broader implications for Wolfspeed's strategy and financial health.

The slower-than-expected adoption of EVs, particularly in Europe, has further complicated Wolfspeed's ability to achieve its revenue targets.

Wolfspeed's North Carolina operations have faced several challenges impacting both its existing facilities and new projects.
Operational Challenges in Durham
Wolfspeed has announced plans to close its 150mm device fabrication plant in Durham, North Carolina, due to low utilization and cost inefficiencies. The company cited an equipment incident in June 2024 that resulted in a temporary capacity reduction, negatively affecting gross margins by 500 basis points due to underutilization charges and repair costs.

Additionally, in October 2024, a technician at the Durham facility tragically died from electrocution. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a fine of $27,554 for violations related to the incident. This has prompted Wolfspeed to enhance safety protocols across its operations.

Expansion and Transition to Chatham County
In contrast to the challenges in Durham, Wolfspeed is investing heavily in a new facility in Chatham County, North Carolina. The $5 billion John Palmour Manufacturing Center for Silicon Carbide is set to become the world's largest and most advanced silicon carbide wafer production facility. Expected to begin production in June 2025, this facility aims to produce 200mm silicon carbide wafers, which are more efficient and cost-effective than the 150mm wafers produced in Durham. The project is anticipated to create approximately 1,800 jobs and contribute over $17.5 billion to the state's economy over the next two decades.

Financial and Strategic Implications
Wolfspeed's restructuring efforts, including the closure of the Durham facility and the transition to the Chatham County plant, are part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and reduce costs. However, these moves have led to significant financial losses and stock price declines. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the company reported a net loss of $362 to $401 million, with revenues between $160 and $200 million, well below analyst expectations. The company also announced plans to lay off approximately 20% of its workforce, with most of the cuts affecting North Carolina operations.

In summary, while Wolfspeed's new Chatham County facility represents a significant investment in the future of silicon carbide production, the company faces ongoing challenges in its existing North Carolina operations. The success of the Chatham County plant will be crucial for Wolfspeed's long-term viability and competitiveness in the semiconductor industry.
