Wolfspeed stock rises on new high-performance SiC power modules

Investing.com -- Wolfspeed Inc (NYSE:WOLF) stock rose 2.1% in Monday’s premarket trading following the company’s announcement of new 1200V silicon carbide (SiC) six-pack power modules for high-power inverters.

The new modules, which incorporate Wolfspeed’s Gen 4 SiC MOSFET technology, deliver three times more power cycling capability at operating temperature compared to competing solutions and 15% higher inverter current capability in an industry-standard footprint.

According to the company, the modules feature advanced packaging technology including sintered die attach, epoxy encapsulant material, and copper clip interconnects. They achieve a 22% RDS(ON) improvement at 125°C compared to previous generation products, while reducing turn-on energy by approximately 60% across operating temperatures.

"These modules provide a means for electric mobility OEMs to take a quantum leap forward in technology," said Dr. Cengiz Balkas, Wolfspeed Chief Business Officer. He added that the new products deliver "the reliability, efficiency, and power density that heavy-duty, construction and agricultural vehicles demand."

The company highlighted that the modules’ industry-standard packaging enables seamless adoption without complex redesign, serving as a direct replacement for IGBT solutions in existing system architectures.

Guy Moxey, Vice President and General Manager for Industrial and Energy, noted that the "enhanced power cycling capabilities and efficiency translate directly to reduced maintenance costs, extended vehicle operational life, and improved energy efficiency."

The 1200V SiC six-pack power modules are now available for customer sampling, with full availability at distributors expected in early 2026.
