That is impossible to answer because neither of them is a full sentence. We need the full sentence and the context in order to work it out.

1) 'He becomes known widely'
2)'He is known widely'
Thanks.

Each has a different meaning. In 1) As he advances/progresses in life or his profession etc., "he becomes known" but not yet in some areas/places etc. In 2) he is already known.
