Semiconductor manufacturer SweGaN and RFHIC partner
Summary
Over the past decade, SweGaN has developed and produced GaN-on-SiC epitaxial solutions for RF and power devices used in various applications, including 5G telecommunications infrastructure, defence radars, satellite communications, on-board chargers, and data centres. Jr-Tai Chen, CEO and Founder at SweGaN, commented: "With the accelerating demand for high-performance semiconductor materials to power a multitude of applications and increase efficiency in an energy-conscious world, the new equity investment will support SweGaN’s capacity expansion plan for its top-class GaN-on-SiC epitaxial wafers and facilitate joint product developments with RFHIC." The new strategic partnership with RFHIC has the potential to significantly strengthen SweGaN’s position in key geographical areas, as the company aims to lead a transition from legacy material solutions to its innovative GaN semiconductors. Dr. Samuel Cho, CTO and Co-founder of RFHIC Corporation, stated: "As RFHIC maps its future strategy for GaN semiconductors, including accelerated market demand for products in 5G, 6G, satellite communication and more, SweGaN’s high-performance 6-inch GaN epiwafers for RF and power semiconductors – notable for their high-power efficiency – provide a strong fit for our technological roadmap and diversification of gallium nitride epitaxial wafer suppliers." In this joint collaboration, SweGaN and RFHIC plan to address the increasing demand for GaN semiconductors and initiate new product developments for a variety of markets.
