Innoscience delivers GaN HEMT for mobile handsets

40V bi-directional GaN HEMT with low RDS(on) targets smart mobile devices, chargers and adapters
Chinese GaN company Innoscience, has announced the INN40W08, a 40V bi-directional GaN-on-Si enhancement mode HEMT for mobile devices, including laptops and cellular phones. The INN40W08 HEMT has been developed using the company's InnoGaN technology.
Commented Denis Marcon, general manager of Innoscience Europe and marketing manager for the USA and Europe: "GaN technology has been adopted by manufacturers of mobile phone chargers over the last couple of years to deliver increased power and shrink device size. However, Innoscience's significant breakthrough now makes it possible to introduce GaN HEMTs into mobile phone handsets as well, increasing efficiency and performance. With Innoscience's huge available capacity, we provide the secure supply chain that customers nowadays expect."
Featuring a bi-directional blocking capability, the new INN40W08 GaN HEMTs have an on-resistance of 7.8 mΩ. This is achieved by a patented strain enhancement layer technology which reduces sheet resistance by 66 percent. Gate charge (QG) is typically 12.7nC. The 5x5 grid wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) measures 2x2 mm.
The small footprint enables INN40W08 GaN HEMTs to be integrated inside mobile phones. Applications include high side load switching, over-voltage protection in a smart phone's USB port and multiple power supplies including chargers and adapters. In over-voltage-protection systems, the technology can replace two silicon MOSFETs with one InnoGaN (or BiGaN) transistor.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
