DuPont Electronics & Imaging (E&I) today reported it has consented to an agreement to sell its Compound Semiconductor Solutions (CSS) business to SK Siltron, number one silicon wafer provider to the semiconductor market situated in South Korea. The transaction is anticipated to be done by the end of 2019, subject to customary regulatory endorsements for shutting.
The transaction is consistent with DuPont’s strategy of active portfolio management and trained capital allotment to further align the organization’s portfolio with exceptional yield opportunities.
Jon Kemp, President of DuPont Electronics & Imaging, said, “The DuPont CSS business has state-of-the-art technologies for SiC wafer production to serve the power electronics market, but it is not a strategic priority for the E&I business.”. He added, “Given its strategic focus, we believe SK Siltron will be a better owner and that the CSS business will thrive under SK Siltron’s ownership.”
