Article of the day
STMicroelectronics has announced an agreement to acquire a
majority stake in French gallium nitride (GaN) innovator
Exagan.
the power segment of the industry is moving away from silicon in favor
of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials. Over time, ST has
created a good market with silicon carbide (SiC), but GaN and SiC
currently address different parts of the power IC market.
