Core Viewpoint - Tianyue Advanced (02631) has seen a stock price increase of over 7%, currently trading at 59.55 HKD with a transaction volume of 188 million HKD, highlighting strong market interest in the company [1] Company Summary - Tianyue Advanced is a leading enterprise in the silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor materials industry, having achieved technological breakthroughs in the full series of 12-inch SiC substrates, marking the industry's transition to the 12-inch era [1] Industry Summary - Silicon carbide (SiC), as a third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor, is gaining traction across four major industries: renewable energy, AI, communications, and augmented reality (AR), due to its superior characteristics in breakdown electric field, bandgap width, thermal conductivity, electron saturation drift velocity, and refractive index [1] - According to Wukuang Securities, the demand side is experiencing a comprehensive explosion, leading to rapid industry expansion. By 2027, a tight balance between supply and demand for SiC substrates is expected, with potential supply shortages [1] - By 2030, the global demand for substrates is projected to reach 16.76 million pieces, with an estimated production capacity shortfall of about 12 million pieces compared to the supply in 2025. The three core growth points identified are AI intermediary layers, electric vehicles, and AR glasses, with expected demand shares of 37%, 26%, and 23% respectively by 2030 [1] - If SiC can be industrialized in the "substrate layer," "intermediate layer," and "heat sink" segments for advanced packaging thermal materials in AI chips, the global demand for SiC substrates could reach approximately 30 million pieces by 2030 [1]
