Amazing substrate technology.

Great article about advantages of GaN on QST platform for HEMT devices.

Advancement of semiconductor technology depends on the epitaxial growth of #GaN films, especially in high-frequency and power devices. But because of mismatched characteristics between substrates and #epitaxial layers—such as lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient mismatches—ability to grow high quality and scalable GaN epitaxial layers on non-native substrates, such as #silicon (Si) and sapphire, suffer great difficulties and prevent unlocking the full potential of GaN. Using SEMI-spec and CMOS fab-friendly QST engineered substrates, which very closely match to the CTE of GaN over a wide temperature range, Vanguard International Semiconductor Company (VIS) solves these problems and allows the deposition of crack-free, high quality and easily scalable high-performance GaN epitaxial layers on 200 mm platform. In an interview with Power Electronics News, Shyh-Chiang Shen, Director of GaN Program Development Division at VIS, discussed the techniques and innovations VIS used to overcome obstacles, emphasizing their investment in GaN technology and its broader implications for the semiconductor sector. #galliumnitride #technology #powerelectronics #industry #widebandgap Qromis, Inc.

📊 Market & Technology – Power GaN 2024   Power GaN devices are transforming the #powerelectronics industry, driving tenfold market growth from 2019 to 2023, with the market expected to surpass $2 billion and a 41% CAGR from 2023 to 2029.  In consumer electronics, power #GaN is rapidly becoming the preferred technology for fast chargers, especially as power levels reach 300W. It appeals to newcomers due to quick market entry and high-volume potential, as seen with @Qromis' QST substrate in a Lakesemi charger. Power GaN is also advancing in OVP units, home appliances, automotive #LiDAR systems for #ADAS, and sub-11kW onboard chargers. It’s penetrating high-end e-bikes, e-scooters, and #datacenters with 3kW+ GaN power supplies.   👉 Discover the power GaN market trends, forecast, supply chain insights and much more in our report: https://lnkd.in/eVpRyF2C   ✍ Taha Ayari, PhD ; Hassan CHEAITO

Qromis, Inc., a Silicon Valley based company, unlocks the full potential of #GaN through a myriad of distinct features of its patented #QST engineered substrate technology. Of those, check the attached animation on two important aspects of this groundbreaking technology: 1) MANUFACTURING of QST substrates in traditional CMOS fabs using conventional semiconductor materials and processes which is similar to Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) substrates with respect to manufacturing processing and cost. 2) SUSTAINABILITY and REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT of the QST substrate manufacturing by utilizing energy efficient mainstream semiconductor process tools in CMOS fabs with an over 98% yield and a process cycle time of less than 7 days. These are critical components of the QST innovation which was carefully designed per the projected cost and sustainability / net-zero requirements in the industry which separate this disruptive technology from the manufacturing of native GaN substrates or non-native Si, Sapphire or SiC substrates. Further details will be presented at #PowerUP & #Fortronic Conference & Expo on September 18 & 19, LIVE in Milan, Italy: -  Our President & CEO Cem Basceri Basceri and other industry experts in EXECUTIVE PANEL SESSION on September 18 (16:30 – 18:00) will dive into exploring advancements and addressing challenges in GaN and SiC Technologies, moderated by Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio, Editor-in-Chief, Power Electronics News. -  Our CTO Vladimir Odnoblyudov Odnoblyudov will present on September 19 (14:30 – 14:55) how Qromis’ groundbreaking SEMI standard QST engineered substrate technology is taking GaN adoption to the next level by large diameter (200 mm and 300 mm), scalable (100 V to 2000 V and beyond) and CMOS fab-friendly GaN-on-QST manufacturing platform for GaN power devices, as well as GaN RF and optoelectronic devices. #power #powerelectronics #RF #optoelectronics #semiconductor #widebandgap #WBG #galliumnitride #engineeredsubstrate #CMOS #silicononinsulator #SOI #sustainability #carbonfootprint #netzero #semistandard #semispec #silicon #Si #sapphire #SiC #powerelectronicsnews
