Briefings
Wolfspeed has commercially introduced transparent silicon carbide (TSiC) technology, enabling next-generation augmented reality and quantum computing applications. The company is advancing 200 mm optical-grade substrates while developing 300 mm TSiC technology to host qubits and transmit quantum information through light. Industry experts note that silicon carbide's high refractive index allows single-layer waveguides to replace stacked optics, potentially making immersive AR glasses more compact and lightweight. The press release highlights Wolfspeed's 35-year history in SiC innovation and its robust intellectual property portfolio.
