Topology Rationale
The theme is organized around wide-bandgap power semiconductors as the core economic activity, with value accruing first to SiC/GaN device and substrate makers, then to the equipment, materials, packaging, and test stack needed to manufacture them, and finally to system-level adopters and infrastructure operators that pull demand through EV, datacenter, and industrial power-conversion applications. Adjacent compute and cloud players matter because rising rack power density and electrification increase the need for more efficient power delivery, but only companies with a plausible role in this chain are assigned.
