Infineon Semiconductors (Infineon Technologies AG) today announced the acquisition of Canada's GaN Systems to further expand its GaN (gallium nitride) technology leadership in the field of power electronics.
GaN is a new type of semiconductor material that is widely used in the fields of power electronics and optoelectronics. Its high power density, low loss, and fast speed make it a hot topic in the field of electronic products. Infineon has been committed to developing and promoting GaN technology. The acquisition of GaN Systems will further enhance its competitiveness and innovation capabilities in this field.
It is understood that GaN Systems, founded in 2008, is a high-tech enterprise focusing on R&D and production of GaN power devices. Its GaN transistor technology has been widely used in electric vehicles, solar inverters, high-efficiency data centers, industrial power supplies and Medical equipment and other fields. This acquisition will help Infineon further strengthen its business in the fields of automotive electronics, industrial automation, renewable energy and communications, and provide more comprehensive and innovative solutions on a global scale.
Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon Semiconductors, said: "GaN technology is one of Infineon's core technologies in the field of power semiconductors. The acquisition of GaN Systems will help us expand our market share in GaN and accelerate our innovation in the field of new semiconductor technologies And development."
The specific transaction amount of this acquisition will reach a staggering US$830 million, and the transaction will be completed in cash. At the same time, GaN Systems will continue to maintain its existing management team and employees, and set up R&D and production centers in Canada, the United States and Europe.
In short, Infineon's acquisition of GaN Systems is an important move for it to expand its layout in the field of GaN technology and further strengthen its global leadership in the field of power electronics, which is expected to bring more market share and innovation opportunities to the company.
