Epitaxial materials for power electronics

In May of 2019 EpiGaN was acquired by Soitec, a world leader in designing and manufacturing innovative semiconductor materials, for the strategic and unique value the company created in the field of GaN-on-Silicon layer technology. These GaN technologies, which are gaining significant traction in RF and power markets, enabled Soitec to extend its current portfolio of engineered substrates beyond silicon. Targeting the base stations power amplifiers market in the first place, Soitec aims to penetrate the smartphones and power automotive markets with GaN products at a later stage.

With EpiGan’s technology Soitec will be able to support 5G deployment which is expected to be a strong growth lever. As one of the company’s business units for over a year now and benefiting from Soitec’s global manufacturing footprint and exposure, the EpiGaN BU is offering its customers access to a worldwide sales and support team network.
