Violation de brevets GaN et SiC : Wolfspeed accuse Navitas, qui accuse Renesas
围绕宽禁带半导体的专利战正在升温。Wolfspeed已在特拉华州法院起诉Navitas，重点指向其GaNFast和SiCPAK产品线；与此同时，Navitas又在得克萨斯州反击Renesas，矛头对准后者的SuperGaN半导体。GaN（氮化镓）和SiC（碳化硅）相关诉讼不断加码，显示这一高增长赛道的知识产权争夺正变得愈发激烈。
这场纠纷发生在更大的行业对抗背景下：除了Wolfspeed、Navitas和Renesas之外，德国Infineon与中国Innoscience之间的争端也在持续发酵，说明大功率、高效率电力电子所依赖的宽禁带材料，已经成为全球半导体厂商争夺专利与市场的核心战场。
Wolfspeed has filed a patent complaint in Delaware targeting Navitas’ GaNFast and SiCPAK product lines, while Navitas has separately turned around and sued Renesas in Texas over its SuperGaN semiconductors. The dispute underscores how sharply legal battles are escalating in the wide-bandgap semiconductor market, especially around GaN and SiC technologies.
The case adds to a broader wave of intellectual property conflicts in the sector, where major players are increasingly using the courts to defend or challenge positions in fast-growing power electronics markets. The original article notes that this confrontation is unfolding alongside the German Infineon versus Chinese Innoscience dispute, highlighting that patent warfare around GaN and SiC is becoming a defining feature of competition in the industry.
Dans le cadre de dépôts de plainte, Wolfspeed vise notamment les gammes GaNFast et SiCPAK de Navitas devant un tribunal du Delaware, tandis que Navitas cible les semi-conducteurs SuperGaN de Renesas au Texas. Les batailles juridiques autour des semi-conducteurs à grand gap (GaN, SiC) s’intensifient. Alors que l’affrontement entre l’Allemand Infineon et le Chinois Innoscience […]

Wolfspeed sued Navitas over GaNFast/SiCPAK patent claims in Delaware, while Navitas countersued Renesas in Texas over SuperGaN, escalating legal battles in wide-bandgap semiconductors that can disrupt supply and product roadmaps.
Wolfspeed — GaN/SiC power semiconductor supplier, US-based.
Navitas — power semiconductor company focused on GaN, US-based.
Renesas — automotive/industrial semiconductor maker, Japan-based.
[Strongly track] — cross-suits among major GaN/SiC players can quickly influence licensing, shipments, and competitive positioning.
