GaN Systems unveils annual power semiconductor predictions for 2023

BY Semiconductor Today In its annual power semiconductor predictions, GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (a fabless developer of gallium nitride-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications) reckons that 2023 will be another landmark year for GaN — with the now widely adopted technology forecasted by Yole Intelligence’s ‘Power GaN 2022: Market and Technology Report 2022’…

Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide Fight for Green Tech Domination

CAN ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTORS cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? The answer is a resounding yes. Such a change is actually well underway. Starting around 2001, the compound semiconductor gallium nitride fomented a revolution in lighting that has been, by some measures, the fastest technology shift in human history. In…
