Aixtron says that the new system will be used to ramp up Transphorm´s production capabilities of GaN devices for efficient and compact power conversion. Transphorm reportedly plans to transfer the company´s GaN on Si material growth technology to large scale production of its power conversion modules. The power conversion modules help simplify the design and manufacturing of motor drives, power supplies and inverters for solar panels and electric vehicles. Aixtron’s local support team successfully installed and commissioned GaN-on-Silicon system at Transphorm’s headquarters in Goleta, California.
