RIR Power Electronics expands SiC diode production

New Delhi, June 5 (UNI) In a significant step towards bolstering India’s indigenous semiconductor capabilities, RIR Power Electronics Ltd. on Thursday announced the successful expansion of its 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) diode production through a strategic collaboration with Taiwan-based Pro Asia Semiconductor Corporation (PASC).
The partnership is expected to fast-track RIR’s go-to-market strategy by enabling the rollout of SiC devices in various voltage and current ratings, thereby de-risking operations and accelerating the ramp-up of high-efficiency power solutions from RIR’s upcoming fabrication facility in Odisha.
As part of the initiative, 1200V Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) ranging from 2A to 60A—covering the most widely used configurations across multiple applications—have already been manufactured at PASC’s state-of-the-art fab in Taiwan and shipped to India. The company has secured purchase orders from Richardson Electronics (USA) and Ankit Plastics (India), both major players in the commercial, industrial, and defence supply chains.
"This milestone strengthens RIR’s position as a serious player in the global power semiconductor space," said Dr. Harshad Mehta, Chairman and Director of RIR Power Electronics Ltd. "It also lays the foundation for full-fledged production from our planned Odisha SiC fab, which will serve high-growth markets such as automotive, renewable energy, industrial, and defence."
The production expansion is backed by a comprehensive technology transfer agreement signed on October 17, 2024, with Sicamore Semi, USA.
Under the agreement, RIR holds exclusive manufacturing and commercialisation rights for SiC diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs based on Sicamore’s proven IP. The technology, originally developed for 4-inch wafers, has been successfully scaled up to 6-inch production with support from Vortex Semi (USA) and PASC.
RIR’s Odisha facility, with a proposed investment of Rs 618 crore, forms a crucial part of India’s ‘Make in India’ semiconductor drive. It is expected to reduce the country’s import dependency in strategic sectors, create employment, and position India as a competitive player in global advanced electronics manufacturing.
