Volume 97, Issue 36
DuPont has signed an agreement to sell its compound semiconductor business to South Korea’s SK Siltron, a leading maker of silicon wafers, for $450 million. The business has state-of-the-art technologies to produce the wafers for the power electronics market, according to DuPont. It is no longer a strategic priority, however, and the company says it is focusing on “higher-return opportunities.” Many South Korean firms have been beefing up their production capabilities as political and trade tensions increase with Japan, which also makes silicon wafers.
