Exclusive: Gallium oxide prepares to tackle power semiconductor market with 6-inch mass production and 8-inch breakthroughs
What happened
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is approaching a pivotal industrial inflection point: on one hand, wafer sizes are scaling up (6-inch mass production and 8-inch breakthroughs) to integrate seamlessly with existing semiconductor manufacturing lines; on the other hand, material prices are expected to decline substantially starting in 2027. The convergence of these two trends is unlocking commercial viability for this new high-voltage power material, which targets ultra-high-voltage applications above 3,000V and grid infrastructure in the 10kV class. The source does not state the cause of the expected price decline.
