Applications

Where this wafer delivers value

01

GaN Power Electronics

AlN-on-Si templates serve as high-quality buffer layers for GaN-on-Si power devices. They enable low-defect GaN HEMTs for fast chargers, EV powertrains, and data center power supplies.

02

RF & 5G/6G Front-Ends

Providing excellent thermal management and high-resistivity interfaces, these templates support GaN RF and high-frequency devices for 5G/6G base stations, radar systems, and satellite communications.

03

Piezoelectric MEMS & Sensors

The high-quality AlN layer offers strong piezoelectric properties, making these templates ideal for fabricating SAW/BAW RF filters, acoustic sensors, and PMUTs on silicon substrates.

04

Advanced Heterogeneous Integration

Serving as the crystalline bridge between III-N wide-bandgap epitaxy and mature Si CMOS technology — the foundation for monolithic GaN/Si co-integration. Ideal for CMOS-compatible integrated photonics, quantum photonics (single-photon sources & detectors), and next-generation GaN power/RF electronics.
