Join in the Europractice webinar series, when experts from imec and X-FAB explore the opportunities of our specialty semiconductor technologies. Each webinar will focus on one process, its unique capabilities and the applications they enable.
Topic:
- X-FAB’s GaN-on-Si Foundry Service
Speaker:
- David Auffret, Product Marketing Manager – GaN (X-FAB)
Description:
GaN-on-Si technology is a promising semiconductor process for power electronic applications. X-FAB introduced GaN-on-Si foundry services as part of its XG035 technology platform enabling customers to design products that improve energy efficiency from the grid down to the car battery or GPU level.
The XG035 process includes dMode HEMT transistors (scalable from 100V to 650V), often used in power conversion applications. XG035 technology also includes Schottky Barrier Diodes as a variation of the HEMT device. GaN eMode technology flavor reached prototyping stage and is in the final development stages for small volume production.
XG035 dMode process follows X-FAB’s successful CMOS approach with an open-foundry platform for Power GaN technologies while having the ability to customize our processes for matching customer needs.
A PDK that eases the design process for customers and achieves faster on-boarding is available. In addition, a public MPW shuttle service is available, allowing multiple customers to share a single
silicon wafer for chip fabrication.
In this presentation, we will explore the details of the latest Wide-bandgap technologies offer, i.e. GaN-on-Si, from the key specifications to the applications addressed.
