Driven by applications such as 5G, electric vehicles, and power supply devices, the demand for third-generation semiconductor materials GaN has gradually increased.
Since design, manufacturing, capital, yield, cost, technology and other links are all tests for the GaN field, many early European and American IDM companies began to develop.
Today, it has evolved to expand cooperation in the industry and accelerate the pace of industrial development. Among them, Taiwanese manufacturers such as WIN Semiconductors, GCS Holdings, and Unikorn Semiconductor will take advantage of their existing foundations and base themselves on the GaN epitaxial and wafer foundry markets.
Currently, 6-inch GaN-on-Sic wafers for RF applications have been mass-produced, while Universal-KY is providing 4-inch GaN-on-Sic wafer foundry services for RF applications at base stations. -on-Sic production capacity, 6 inches has also been certified for base station RF applications.
As for Unikorn Semiconductor, it provides 6-inch GaN-on-Sic foundry services.
On the application side, the release of Xiaomi's 65WGaN charger has made GaN a high-frequency vocabulary in the fast charging industry, and the price of 149 yuan has hit a new low in the industry.
The well-known cross-border e-commerce brand RAVPOWER also launched a 61W GaN fast charge for only 109 yuan.
Judging from the selling prices of other brands of 60W-65WGaN fast charge chargers currently on the market, the prices are generally above 149 yuan, and the highest is close to 300 yuan.
The RAVPOWER 61WGaN fast charge is only a hundred yuan, which will bring a big impact on the GaN fast charge industry and is expected to promote the further popularization of GaN fast charge.
