2) Price reduction trend - Q: what is the price trend of silicon carbide downstream devices? What is the price difference with silicon-based devices?
A: different from Si materials, the substrate accounts for 7% of the average cost structure of the previous process, and the cost of SiC substrate materials accounts for nearly 50% of the overall cost. The total cost of SiC 6-inch wafer is about 6400 yuan, of which the value of substrate (55%) and epitaxy (5%) is about 3840 yuan.
3) Device structure - Q: what is the proportion of various silicon carbide devices?
A: in 2019, the proportion of SiC diodes is significantly higher than that of SiC MOSFET and modules. With the continuous maturity of SiC MOSFET technology, it is expected to exceed the proportion of diodes in the future. The module has the fastest growth rate and is expected to account for 50% in the future.
4) Development process - Q: what is the core of silicon carbide cost reduction? When will it usher in the turning point of comprehensive cost advantage and accelerated growth?
A: capacity expansion + long crystal technology improvement + development of new technologies will drive the substrate cost down at a rate of 10% - 20% every year. SiC is expected to usher in a growth inflection point in 2022, with a global market space of about US $700-1 billion. In order to accelerate the growth period from 2024 to 2026, the market space is about US $1.5 billion. In order to accelerate the growth period from 2024 to 2026, the market space is about US $2.1 billion
5) Energy calculation - Q: how much energy savings can silicon carbide bring at the vehicle end in the era of carbon neutralization?
A: the energy saving of SiC per vehicle compared with that of Si material in one year: 1) it is equivalent to saving 5.5 barrels of fuel per car per year; 2) the owner saves more than $146.15 in power cost per year; 3) reduce 690kg of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions per year; 6) depot layout - Q: how many depots and vehicles use silicon carbide?
A: according to the data of Beijing Centergate Technologies (Holding) Co.Ltd(000931) Trina Solar wide band gap semiconductor technology innovation alliance and our statistics (incomplete), 7 vehicle manufacturers have introduced SiC in OBC and DC-DC, 4 electric drives and 10 electric drives. It is estimated that there will be more than 1 million units in 2021 and double in 2022. Chinese Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) automobile enterprises first apply SiC devices in OBC and DC, and then gradually penetrate into motor controllers with higher reliability requirements.
