Gallium oxide has rapidly advanced in technical development in the past few years and is now one of the most promising semiconductor technologies. The main application focus for this material is power electronics, where its inherent properties, such as high critical field strength, highly tunable conductivity, low mobility, and melt-based bulk growth, are expected to provide the necessary high performance at a low cost.

Gallium-oxide power devices market share by company and profiles includes Novel Crystal Technology, Inc., Kyma technologies, ON Semiconductor Corporation, NXP Semiconductors, FLOSFIA, and Atecom Technology Co., Ltd. are new product development and collaboration. Market players have adopted various strategies such as product launch, investment, and acquisition to expand their foothold in the gallium oxide power device market.

Gallium oxide power devices are advanced semiconductor components made of gallium oxide, a wide bandgap material known for high breakdown voltage and thermal stability. These devices are designed to efficiently handle high voltage and power levels, making them suitable for various applications in power electronics, including power converters, inverters, and electric vehicles.

Compared to silicon-based gadgets, gallium oxide power devices provide superior efficiency, with increased energy losses saved, faster switch times, and higher temperature operating ranges. Also, these devices are a key solution for emerging power systems renewable energy systems, industrial process automation, as well as electric transportation.

The driving force behind gallium oxide power device growth

Ongoing advancement in R&D is also an important enabler of Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3) power devices. As scientists look for new avenues by which to improve Ga2O3-based devices, research in material science and semiconductor technologies leads to efficiency, thermal stability, and breakdown voltage improvements. These innovations open possibilities to create high-performance power devices capable of withstanding higher voltages and temperatures that are relevant to applications in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial automation. Besides that, increased funding and collaborations between academic institutions and industry players create a dynamic innovation ecosystem, further accelerating the commercialization of Ga2O3 device. This energetic atmosphere not only improves product offerings but also attracts investment, further driving market growth and adoption across various industries.

How are Ga2O3 power devices shaping the future of sustainable EVs?

The growing EV sector offers a significant opportunity for the Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3) power device market. As EVs require efficient power conversion systems for enhanced performance and extended range, Ga2O3 devices, known for their high breakdown voltage and thermal stability, are ideal for applications like onboard chargers and inverters. The increasing demand for sustainable transportation, bolstered by government incentives, is accelerating EV adoption and creating a need for advanced power electronics. By utilizing Ga2O3 device, manufacturers can improve energy efficiency, reduce weight, and optimize overall EV system performance, positioning themselves competitively in this rapidly expanding industry.

NCT launched gallium oxide (GaO) single-crystal

In March 2024, Novel Crystal Technology (NCT) successfully produced a 6-inch gallium oxide (GaO) single crystal using the Vertical Bridgman (VB) technique. This breakthrough boosts the ability to create larger and higher-quality semiconductor wafers, essential for power devices. Compared to the earlier Edge-defined Film-fed Growth (EFG) method, the VB technique offers superior crystal quality and lower production costs.

Final words

Gallium oxide power devices are revolutionizing the semiconductor industry, offering superior efficiency, high breakdown voltage, and thermal stability. Their applications in power electronics, particularly in electric vehicles and renewable energy, are enhancing performance and sustainability. Continued advancements and collaborations are driving rapid market growth and adoption across industries.
