GaN, important for implementing energy efficiency improvement and carbon dioxide reduction solutions

Infineon Technologies (hereinafter referred to as Infineon) is solidifying its position in the power semiconductor sector by acquiring a company with leading GaN technology.

Infineon announced on the 24th that it has completed the acquisition of GaN Systems Inc.

With this, Infineon gains access to GaN Systems' broad range of GaN-based power conversion solutions and advanced application know-how.

“GaN technology is a key enabler for increased energy efficiency and CO2 reduction solutions that support decarbonization,” said Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. “The acquisition of GaN Systems will significantly accelerate our GaN roadmap and further strengthen Infineon’s leadership in power systems.”

With a total of 450 GaN experts and more than 350 GaN patent families, Infineon is able to expand its leading position in power semiconductors and significantly reduce time to market.

Complementary strengths in both companies’ IP and application understandingWith its presence and rich customer project pipeline, Infineon is expected to support a wide range of rapidly growing applications.
