Onsemi Reveals Vertical GaN-on-GaN Semiconductors
Onsemi has introduced vertical GaN-on-GaN power semiconductors, setting a new benchmark for power density, efficiency, and ruggedness for AI data centers, electric vehicles, and other energy-intensive applications.
Dinesh Ramanathan, SVP of corporate strategy, Onsemi said: “Vertical GaN is a game-changer for the industry and cements Onsemi’s leadership in energy efficiency and innovation.”
The new vGaN power semiconductors can handle high voltages of 1,200V and above in a monolithic die, switching high currents at high frequency with superior efficiency to deliver smaller and lighter systems.
The technology, developed by Onsemi’s Syracuse, New York, R&D team, can cut losses in high-end power systems by almost 50 percent, according to the company.
