Interested in Working at Wolfspeed's new Siler City Factory?

Our new, state-of-the-art Materials manufacturing facility in Chatham County, NC will yield a 10-fold increase in Wolfspeed’s Silicon Carbide production. The first phase alone will be big enough to fit both the New Orleans Superdome and the Sears Tower, with some room to spare. Phase one construction is anticipated to be completed in 2024.

The Siler City Factory will produce 200mm Silicon Carbide wafers to supply our current and future fabs. This includes our Mohawk Valley Fab, which opened earlier this year as the world’s first, largest and only 200mm Silicon Carbide fabrication facility. Over the next eight years, the new Wolfspeed facility will create 1,800 new jobs on the 445 acre site. 

Government funding will support the development of the facility’s first phase and represents an approximate $1.0 billion incentive package from the State, County and local governments. In addition, the company hopes to apply for and obtain federal funding from the CHIPS Act to accelerate the construction and build-out of the facility.
