Samsung Electronics is reportedly preparing to shift more of its gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductor strategy toward foundry services after struggling to secure customers for its own GaN devices and modules, according to The Elec.

South Korean foundry operator DB HiTek is facing a slower ramp in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), testing its push into next-generation power semiconductors as technology barriers and a market slowdown complicate its growth plans.

A patent dispute between Infineon Technologies and China's Innoscience over gallium nitride (GaN) technology has escalated after the US International Trade Commission upheld a preliminary ruling finding that Innoscience had infringed one of Infineon's GaN-related patents.

As the global patent battle over gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors intensifies, a recent ruling by the US International Trade Commission has deepened the rivalry between Infineon Technologies and China's Innoscience while also underscoring how geopolitics is increasingly shaping the future of the power semiconductor industry.

Semiconductor silicon wafer supplier GlobalWafers said during its May 5 earnings call that it is advancing its next-generation compound semiconductor strategy. In response to advanced packaging and thermal dissipation demand, the company is actively pursuing customer certification for 12-inch silicon carbide (SiC) wafers, while strong demand for gallium nitride (GaN) is driving plans to launch a s
