Materials

GaN and diamond platforms, engineered for performance.

Advanced GaN semiconductor wafers, GaN-on-Diamond and CVD diamond substrates — built for high-power electronics, RF systems, quantum technologies, and advanced computing, where thermal performance decides everything.

Flagship platform

GaN-on-Diamond engineered substrates.

Gallium nitride epitaxial structures, integrated directly with diamond substrates. The result: dramatically better thermal conductivity, higher power density, and improved device reliability across advanced semiconductor applications.

It is the substrate platform for devices that run hotter, faster, and denser than silicon was ever designed to handle.

Advanced GaN Semiconductor Wafers

Higher efficiency, higher power density, next-generation performance.

Gallium Nitride — GaN — is an advanced wide-bandgap semiconductor material used in high-performance electronic, power, radio frequency, photonic and sensing applications.

As industries move toward electrification, AI infrastructure, high-speed communications, compact power systems and secure defence technologies, traditional silicon platforms are being pushed past their limits. Devices now demand:

Greater efficiency Faster switching Smaller device footprints Improved thermal performance

Our GaN semiconductor wafers give manufacturers, research organisations and technology developers an advanced wafer platform for next-generation devices.
