Fujitsu starts mass GaN production

Fujitsu’s 150mm wafer fab in Aizu-Wakamatsu has started mass production of GaN power devices for Transphorm’s power modules.

Transphorm has a 600V GaN device platform which delivers photovoltaic power conditioners, AC adapters, power supplies for PCs, servers and telecom equipment, and motion control systems.

“The start of mass production in a CMOS-compatible fab is a significant step forward toward achieving the widespread use of GaN power devices,” says Haruki Okada, President of Fujitsu Semiconductor.

“Manufacturing Transphorm’s GaN power devices at Aizu-Wakamatsu will assure our customers a scalable, stable supply of products with the stamp of Fujitsu’s standards in mass manufacturing,” says Transphorm CEO Fumihide Esaka.
