STMicroelectronics is acquiring a majority stake in French Gallium Nitride (GaN) innovator Exagan.

Despite the current boom in electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) production, actual interest among consumers may be in danger of lagging behind. Rudye McGlothlin, Marketing Director, Power Products, Silicon Labs explains.

DELO has developed an adhesive for electronics that is both thermally conductive and electrically insulating. DELO MONOPOX TC2270 shows good strength, even after standardized humidity tests with subsequent reflow cycles are performed. This new adhesive ensures fast heat transfer and long-term reliable operation of semiconductors in power electronics.

Nexperia has announced a partnership with automotive engineering consulting company, Ricardo, to produce a technology demonstrator for an EV inverter using GaN-based technology. Gallium nitrade (GaN) is the preferred switch for these applications as GaN FETs lead to systems with greater efficiencies at lower costs with improved thermal performance and simpler switching topologies.

Could an evolution in photovoltaics sidestep arguments against solar panels? Nanotechnolgy has the potential to deliver more efficient, flexible solar panels, driving innovation and new applications and a release from centralised power source, says Dr Franky So is chief technology officer of Nextgen Nano.

Nexperia has announced a partnership with Ricardo to produce a technology demonstrator for an EV inverter based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology.

STMicroelectronics and TSMC are collaborating to accelerate the development of Gallium Nitride (GaN) process technology and the supply of both discrete and integrated GaN devices to market. Through this collaboration, ST’s innovative and strategic GaN products will be manufactured using TSMC’s leading GaN process technology.

The days of the hard computer chip may be numbered with the growth in stretchable electronics. Covered in transistors and other semi-conducting elements, these rigid devices likewise render the devices in which they are found - our televisions, laptops and smartphones - similarly inflexible.

As part of a strategic investment programme, TMD Technologies (TMD), West London based manufacturer of advanced equipment for the microwave industry, has taken a share in Diamond Microwave, a specialist in high-power solid-state microwave amplifier products utilising gallium nitride (GaN) and GaAs technology.

A thin film device that allows designers to transfer heat from electrically isolated components by providing a thermal conductive pathway to a ground plane or common heatsink has been released by Vishay Intertechnology.
