DB HiTek will use silicon-based gallium nitride technology to improve 8-inch semiconductor process
Jan 05,2022
South Korean foundry company DB HiTek produces semiconductor chips by fabricating thin films made of gallium nitride (GaN) materials on silicon wafers. This technology can respond to the rapid growth of communication equipment, electric vehicle chargers, and solar converters. Market.
According to Korean media etnews, GaN is a next-generation semiconductor material that can improve the power efficiency of communication equipment, fast chargers for electric vehicles, and solar converters. DB HiTek will produce 8-inch semiconductors based on GaN-on-Si technology, which is expected to simplify wafer processing to enhance profitability by improving the competitiveness of semiconductor manufacturing.
It is understood that DB HiTek expects to use its Chungbuk factory to address the 8-inch market this year. The company plans to fully utilize Chungbuk’s Sangwoo fab capacity or make additional investments to meet the demand for 8-inch semiconductors such as electric vehicles and electric equipment.
