Innoscience files lawsuit against Infineon
Chinese GaN firm Innoscience and its subsidiary Innoscience (Suzhou) Semiconductor have filed a lawsuit against Infineon Technologies (China), its subsidiary Infineon Technologies (Wuxi) and a value-added Chinese distributor called Suzhou Xinwoko Electronic Technology.
The lawsuit concerns patent numbers 202311774650.7 and 202211387983.X (both owned by Inno Suzhou), which respectively involve a GaN power device and its preparation method, and a nitride-based semiconductor device and its manufacturing method.
The complaint is around Infineon's Chinese website which displays and promotes various GaN semiconductor devices to potential customers in China. After technical comparisons, Innoscience says amongst the devices are patent- infringing products that are being imported and sold without Innoscience's permission.
Innoscience says this activity constitutes an infringement of the patents involved in the case, and Infineon should stop the infringement and pay compensation.
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.
Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
