Opening marks milestone for SMC as it
quadruples current production of customer products
Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design
and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second
power discrete fab in Nanjing, China. The new facility realized
volume production only 21 months after groundbreaking in September
2022, and will begin shipments to customers in Q4 2024 for high
power and high voltage rectifiers and MOSFET 6-inch and 8-inch
wafers.

This new fab marks a milestone in SMC’s growth as they further
invest in China and the growing renewable energy sector. The
300,000-square-foot facility is set to produce 1.2 million silicon
wafers and 60,000 silicon carbide wafers per year, increasing SMC’s
total production by over four times. SMC’s current fab in Lukou,
Nanjing produces 300,000 silicon wafers per year. The $3 billion
RMB investment in the new fab will allow SMC to handle the
end-to-end production of silicon carbide products for the first
time.
“As the world moves towards using more and more renewable
energy, we are thrilled to now be able to participate in the sector
and be part of the solution to increase green energy usage and
protect our Earth. We are very excited to have our new fab up and
running and look forward to servicing our customers’ needs better
with the increased capacity.” – Dr. Yunji Corcoran, SMC chairwoman
and chief executive officer.
As Nanjing is also home to SMC’s current fab, abundant
resources, and engineering talent, the city was an advantageous
choice for the new fab location. With their experienced management
team, starting up the new fab was a seamless process, allowing
production to begin shortly after breaking ground.
