AI isn’t just putting pressure on computing. It’s putting pressure on the power grid too, so yeah, betting on that shift. UJ-Crystal has already raised ¥430 million to speed up development of ultra-high-voltage silicon carbide SiC semiconductor wafers, and they may add another ¥570 million if it hits key milestones later this year.

The startup is going after one of the tougher problems in power electronics, the kind that’s just hard to deal with. It produces high-quality p-type SiC wafers needed for next generation power devices. Their method blends solution crystal growth with AI driven digital twin simulations, to make the manufacturing work smoother and more consistent. As AI data centers drive electricity demand higher, technologies like SiC are becoming increasingly important for building more efficient power transmission and grid infrastructure. The funding signals growing investor interest in the hardware needed to support the AI era, not just the AI itself.
