RIR Power Electronics expands SiC diode production in partnership with Taiwan's Pro Asia Semiconductor
The new product line includes 1200V Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) ranging from 2 amps to 60 amps. These diodes have been manufactured at PASC's facility and successfully shipped to India. RIR has already secured purchase orders from Richardson Electronics (USA) and Ankit Plastics (India), underlining global demand for SiC devices in commercial, industrial, and defence applications.
This manufacturing initiative leverages the SiC technology acquired by RIR Power from Sicamore Semi (USA) in October 2024. Originally designed for 4-inch wafers, the technology has been scaled to 6-inch wafers with support from Vortex Semi (USA) and PASC, Taiwan.
Dr. Harshad Mehta, Chairman & Director of RIR Power, said, 'This achievement strengthens RIR's capability to serve global high-growth sectors including automotive, industrial, renewable energy, and defence.'
The company also plans to commence production from its upcoming ₹618 crore SiC semiconductor facility in Odisha. The strategic expansion is expected to generate employment and enhance India's self-reliance in critical electronics manufacturing.

CVD Equipment Corp (NASDAQ:CVV) is exploring new opportunities in the electric vehicle market for its power code systems. The company is committed to maintaining expense management to support its goal of achieving sustained profitability and cash flow. Negative Points Second quarter 2025 revenue decreased by 19.4% from the prior year period and by 38.5% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Orders for the first six months of 2025 were significantly lower at $7.3 million compared to $16.9 million for the same period in 2024. Gross profit decreased to $1.1 million with a gross margin of 21%, down from $1.5 million or 24.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The company reported an operating loss of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the same period of 2024. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7 million as of June 30, 2025, from $12.6 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to net losses and increased accounts receivable. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 1 Warning Sign with CVV. Q: Can you specify if the NDAs you have are with domestic or international clients, especially considering the current tariff environment? A: The facility is located in the United States, and our clients with NDAs can be both domestic and international, including North America, Europe, and Asia. However, the majority of the orders we are discussing are U.S.-based, which minimizes tariff issues. There are some inflationary pressures due to tariffs on components from Europe and Asia, but we are managing through that. - Emmanuel Lachios, President and CEO Q: Will the delivery made in early July be recorded in the third quarter? A: We recognize our revenue using the overtime concept, meaning we recognize revenue proportionally as we manufacture the equipment. Therefore, a significant portion of that revenue has already been recognized during the manufacturing process. - Richard Catalano, Executive Vice President and CFO Q: How are tariffs affecting your business, particularly regarding the cost of goods sold? A: Tariffs impact the cost of goods sold, especially for components like pumps sourced from Europe or Asia. This results in some inflationary pressure, but we are actively managing these costs. - Emmanuel Lachios, President and CEO Q: What factors are influencing your return to profitability? A: Our return to profitability depends on receiving new equipment orders, mitigating inflationary pressures, and managing planned capital expenditures and operating expenses. Revenue and orders historically fluctuate due to changes in order rates and manufacturing process factors. - Richard Catalano, Executive Vice President and CFO Q: Can you elaborate on the impact of reduced U.S. government funding for universities on your business? A: Reduced U.S. government funding for universities is one of several factors affecting our bookings and revenue. We are actively monitoring customer demand and the geopolitical landscape to manage our operating expenses effectively. - Emmanuel Lachios, President and CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

India approves four new semiconductor projects worth Rs 4,600 crore under ISM
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 12, 2025, 16:22 IST The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved four new semiconductor manufacturing projects under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), with a total investment of around Rs 4,600 crore. These projects, to be set up in Odisha, Punjab, and Andhra Pradesh, are expected to generate employment for over 2,000 skilled professionals and create numerous indirect jobs, further strengthening the country's electronics manufacturing ecosystem. With these approvals, the total number of sanctioned projects under ISM rises to 10, representing cumulative investments of approximately Rs 1.60 lakh crore across six states. In Odisha's Info Valley, Bhubaneswar, SiCSem Pvt Ltd—in collaboration with Clas-SiC Wafer Fab Ltd, UK—will establish India's first commercial compound semiconductor fabrication unit, focusing on Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices with an annual capacity of 60,000 wafers and 96 million packaged units. Nearby, 3D Glass Solutions Inc. will set up an advanced semiconductor packaging and embedded glass substrate unit, bringing cutting-edge glass interposers, silicon bridges, and 3D heterogeneous integration modules to India. In Andhra Pradesh, Advanced System in Package Technologies (ASIP), in partnership with APACT Co. Ltd, South Korea, will develop a semiconductor manufacturing unit with an annual output capacity of 96 million units for applications in mobile devices, automotive electronics, and consumer products. In Punjab's Mohali, Continental Device India Pvt Ltd (CDIL) will expand its discrete semiconductor manufacturing facility, producing high-power devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and Schottky diodes, both in silicon and silicon carbide, with an annual capacity of 158.38 million units.
