Cree is the world leader in the development and manufacture of silicon carbide (SiC), a base material used in the fabrication of the company's products and materials. Cree was formed in 1987 by a group of researchers from North Carolina State University who were pioneers in the development of single-crystal silicon carbide. Cree's vertical integration throughout the manufacturing process from crystal growth to device package and test allows total control over all aspects of the production process.
