What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Gen5 is a credibly-announced planar high-density architecture but is pre-spec and pre-sample with zero quantified data and a ~2027 horizon; committing now would be betting on roadmap promises
- Next
- Track ST's SiC roadmap milestones (incl. Catania vertically-integrated substrate fab ramping 2026); design current platforms around shipping Gen4 (750V/1200V) and re-evaluate Gen5 only when a datasheet with numeric RDS(on)/FOM and samples appear
