Why Gallium Oxide?
Gallium Oxide (Ga₂O₃) is an advanced material with potential for high-voltage applications ( to 10 kV) and the ability to withstand high-temperature and high-radiation environments. Its properties enhance energy efficiency in power electronics and solar cells, reducing waste. By incorporatingium oxide, we can significantly lessen our environmental impact and support a greener future.
Advantage #1
Ultra-wide bandgap
With a bandgap of approximately 4.8 eV, Ga₂O₃ enables power devices with higher breakdown voltage and lower energy losses, making it ideal for next-generation power electronics.
Imagine charging your EVs in just 10 minutes!
Advantage #2
Cost-effective Growth
Ga₂O₃ can be grown from the melt, which make it easier to grow larger (above 6 inches) with a lower production cost compared with SiC and GaN.
