KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 

- Making GaN Easy to Use: Engineering Challenges from R&D to Practical Application -

ROHM Co., Ltd. has released the sixth German-language installment in the "Stories of Manufacturing" series of short films, this time taking viewers behind the scenes at the development of GaN devices, which are attracting attention as next-generation power semiconductors.

Actively involved since the 2000s in the research and development of power semiconductors using GaN, ROHM developed in 2022 proprietary GaN HEMTs that leverage the strengths of the company's vertically integrated production system. Furthermore, it has developed the Power Stage IC that combines a dedicated gate driver IC and a GaN HEMT in a single package, offering a cost-effective solution for GaN devices that have historically presented challenges. In addition, they contribute to lower power consumption and miniaturization in a range of fields, from fast chargers and data centers to on-board chargers for xEVs. This latest short film showcases the technical challenges and development stories leading up to the mass production of GaN devices and gate driver ICs.

This video can be viewed on ROHM's official website and YouTube channel.
