IGSS GaN (IGaN), a Singapore- based global leading technology developer in gallium nitride on silicon technologies (GaN-on-Si), and SilTerra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., a home-grown Malaysian semiconductor wafer foundry, are pleased to announce an exclusive technology transfer partnership designed to significantly reduce production costs up to 2x, with high-volume manufacturing capabilities that now includes larger wafer areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

This technology accelerator will spur the conversion of pure silicon and compound-based\u00a0<\/span>technologies into GaN-on-Si, shown to favourably impact the bottom line and long-term\u00a0<\/span>business competitiveness of power as well as radio frequency semiconductor companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

In adopting this solution, power semiconductor players can benefit from GaN-on-Si\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>potential as a green-enabling technology, delivering positive global environmental impact\u00a0<\/span>by minimising power conversion losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership will see mass production of this powerful new technology in early 2019\u00a0<\/span>and grow employment opportunities covering manufacturing process integration, and\u00a0<\/span>equipment engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIGaN aims to offer an innovative one-stop solution. This exclusive collaboration, enables\u00a0<\/span>customers in power semiconductor to leapfrog into GaN technology devices, unlocking\u00a0<\/span>access to the huge opportunity of a US$12 billion power device market.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already engaged in positive discussions with other customers enthusiastic about\u00a0the potential of our platform, particularly those in the power, radio frequency and sensors\u00a0<\/span>market, all of whom are keen to accelerate their access into the rapidly growing GaN market,\u201d said IGaN chairman and chief executive officer, Raj Kumar. <\/span><\/p>\n

GaN devices, used for high power density, wireless power transfer applications, allow for\u00a0higher server power, and is an innovative technology designed for exciting wireless charging applications far beyond low power applications such as cell phones and laptops.<\/span><\/p>\n

The technology additionally enables greater energy savings and increased power density\u00a0<\/span>in data centres, significantly reducing operating and capital expenditures in areas of\u00a0<\/span>energy consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSilTerra\u2019s achievement in delivering a process that allows for reduced costs represents\u00a0<\/span>our partnership\u2019s commitment to achieving the best yielding process and capacity\u00a0<\/span>assurance to fulfil our customers\u2019 business expectations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSilTerra also looks to leading the charge in pioneering solutions for the broader semiconductor space in Malaysia,\u201d said SilTerra chief executive officer, Firdaus Abdullah. <\/span><\/p>\n

GaN capabilities were recently demonstrated with great success at the Applied Power Electronics Conference 2018 conference and exhibition in San Antonio, Texas, USA.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
