Plainview, N.Y. 鈥� 魅影直播. (NASDAQ: VECO) today announced that Transphorm, Inc. (OTCQB:TGAN), a global supplier of gallium nitride (GaN) products for high voltage power conversion applications, has selected 魅影直播鈥檚 Propel鈩� HVM MOCVD System for high-volume production of GaN-based RF (DoD and Commercial/5G) and power electronics Epiwafers. The 魅影直播 system is an excellent fit for Transphorm鈥檚 Epi sales business, and purchased under a US DoD Office of Naval Research (ONR) contract N68335-19-C-0107 from an OUSD (R&E) TAM/MINSEC program to establish a US based dedicated production source of GaN Epitaxy for high performance RF and millimeter-wave electronics. The system was selected for its capability to deliver cutting-edge process at high-throughput and the lowest cost per wafer compared to other MOCVD systems.
鈥淏eing at the forefront of GaN-based power and 5G devices that offer efficiency and high-power density, requires world-class manufacturing solutions that are capable of scaling to mass production while offering flexibility to continuously innovate,鈥� said Umesh Mishra, Ph.D., chief technology officer and co-founder of Transphorm. 鈥滣扔爸辈モ�檚 Propel HVM system is uniquely qualified to do that. The multi-reactor, single-wafer technology provides flexibility and exceptional throughput at a low cost of ownership.鈥�
The Propel system is designed on the foundation of 魅影直播鈥檚 decades of compound semiconductor materials science leadership. The system is a key enabler for today鈥檚 demanding GaN applications critical for next-generation communications infrastructure and highly efficient power devices. The Propel system鈥檚 single-wafer reactor platform enables the processing of six- and eight-inch wafers or two- to four-inch wafers in a mini-batch mode. It accelerates production ramping due to faster recipe capabilities up to 50% quicker than when using traditional batch tools. In addition to 魅影直播鈥檚 proprietary TurboDisc庐 technology, the system also includes 魅影直播鈥檚 IsoFlange鈩� and SymmHeat鈩� technologies, which provide homogeneous laminar flow and uniform temperature profile across the entire wafer delivering world-class uniformity and repeatability.
鈥淲e are proud to have our MOCVD technology selected by a pioneer and recognized world leader in the GaN revolution,鈥� commented Ajit Paranjpe, Ph.D., 魅影直播鈥檚 chief technology officer. 鈥淭ransphorm鈥檚 decision to adopt our high-volume MOCVD technology is proof of the system鈥檚 uniformity, throughput, repeatability and cost of ownership advantages over batch technology. We appreciate the collaboration with Dr. Lee McCarthy, Dr. Umesh Mishra and Dr. Primit Parikh at Transphorm during their technology evaluation which ultimately led to their valued selection of the Propel HVM platform.鈥�
