Description

Wolfspeed, Inc., previously known as Cree, Inc., specializes in delivering high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and sophisticated semiconductor devices. These semiconductor offerings are primarily designed for power management and radio-frequency (RF) applications, with the company maintaining a global reach across the United States, China, Europe, and other international markets. The company's operations are structured into two core divisions: Wolfspeed and LED Products. The Wolfspeed segment centers on silicon carbide (SiC) technology. It provides SiC raw materials utilized in RF systems, power switching, and even gemstone production. This division also develops and manufactures a suite of SiC power components, including Schottky diodes, MOSFETs, power modules, and gate driver boards. These components are essential for a diverse range of demanding applications, such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure, server power supplies, solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and industrial power systems. Furthermore, this segment supplies gallium nitride (GaN) components, including GaN dies, high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), along with laterally diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) power transistors. These products are crucial for telecommunications infrastructure, military applications, and various commercial uses. Custom manufacturing services for GaN HEMTs and MMICs are also offered. The LED Products segment produces blue and green LED chips, which are integrated into video screens, gaming displays, functional indicator lights, and automotive solutions like backlights, headlamps, and directional signals. This segment also provides XLamp LED components and modules for general illumination, as well as surface-mount and through-hole packaged LED products suitable for video, signage, general lighting, transportation, gaming, and specialized lighting requirements. Established in 1987, Wolfspeed, Inc. has its corporate headquarters situated in Durham, North Carolina.
