ASM launches SiC epitaxy system: PE2O8

New product officially introduced at ICSCRM 2024

At this year’s International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM 2024), ASM introduced its latest silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxy platform. The PE2O8 delivers high yields, outstanding productivity, and low cost of ownership, enabling our customers to create microchips that can do more with less power.

Innovation conference

The annual ICSCRM conference is a place for industry leaders to advance new breakthroughs in SiC-based semiconductors. These innovations are essential for key semiconductor applications like electric vehicles, green energy, and the latest AI data centers. 

This year, ASM revealed its latest benchmark SiC epitaxy product: the PE2O8. This dual chamber system can process both 6" and 8" wafers. With its compact chambers utilizing inductive heating, and cross flow reactor, it enables benchmark process uniformity and high yield. The new dual chamber platform, coupled with the inherently small chamber size, means it also offers a low cost of ownership.
