About SOITEC

Soitec is a French high-tech industrial company listed on Euronext Paris, specializing in the design and manufacture of innovative semiconductor materials, with a particular focus on advanced engineered substrates used by the semiconductor industry. The company was founded in 1992 in Bernin, near Grenoble, at the heart of one of Europe’s most important microelectronics ecosystems. Since its inception, Soitec has built a differentiated position around proprietary technologies, notably Smart Cut™, which enables the production of advanced silicon wafers with improved material efficiency and energy performance. In its recent public disclosures, the group highlights more than 30 years of technological development, over 2,200 employees, more than 4,300 active patents, and R&D spending of about 17.1% of revenue in fiscal year 2025. Soitec’s core business is the development of high-value semiconductor materials that enhance chip performance, energy efficiency, and miniaturization. Its main product families address several strategic markets: RF-SOI for mobile connectivity and radio-frequency applications, FD-SOI for IoT, automotive, and certain edge-computing use cases, as well as newer solutions such as SmartSiC™ for power electronics, especially electric vehicles, and substrates for imaging and other advanced applications. The company positions itself as a global reference in innovative semiconductor substrates, serving major growth markets including mobile communications, automotive, industrial applications, edge AI, and cloud AI. Its materials are designed to support faster, more energy-efficient, and more compact devices, which is increasingly important as computing and connectivity demands rise. Soitec has a broad international footprint, with manufacturing sites and sales offices across Europe, North America, and Asia. Its historic industrial site in Bernin remains a central hub, but the company also operates in Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hsinchu, Hwaseong, and Hasselt. According to its latest public information, around 95% of revenue is generated internationally, underscoring the global nature of the semiconductor value chain. The company also maintains long-standing licensing and industrial partnerships with major industry players, alongside more recent collaborations related to silicon carbide. This combination of proprietary intellectual property, technical specialization, and global reach makes Soitec a key enabler of the shift toward more powerful and energy-efficient semiconductors.
