Basic Semiconductor

Shenzhen BASiC Semiconductor Ltd. is a Chinese company focused on the wide-band-gap (WBG) semiconductor industry, specializing in Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices. The company operates on an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) model, handling the entire process from research and development to manufacturing and sales. Its business activities cover the full industrial chain, including epitaxial growth, chip design, wafer fabrication, packaging, testing, and the development of driver circuits. Revenue is generated through the sale of its SiC products to a global client base of over 600 customers.

The company was co-founded by its General Manager, Dr. He Weiwei. Dr. He graduated from Tsinghua University's Department of Electrical Engineering in 2007 and earned a Ph.D. in Power Electronics from the University of Cambridge in 2014. His research has centered on the simulation, design, manufacturing, and application of power semiconductor devices like IGBT and SiC MOSFETs, leading to over twenty patents in the field. This deep expertise in power semiconductors directly informs the company's strategic focus and technological direction.

BASiC Semiconductor provides a range of SiC power devices designed to enhance efficiency and performance in high-power applications. Its product portfolio includes discrete SiC Schottky diodes and MOSFETs, automotive-grade full-SiC power modules, and SiC driver ICs. These components are integral to various high-growth sectors, including renewable power generation, electric vehicles (EVs), locomotive traction, industrial drives, and smart grids. A key strategic development for the company was a partnership with ROHM Semiconductor, a major Japanese electronics manufacturer, to jointly develop SiC power devices specifically for the EV market. This collaboration has resulted in their combined technologies being supplied to major automotive manufacturers for EV powertrains.
