GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN (gallium nitride) power semiconductors, today announced its growing ecosystem of partners collaborating to address the Net Zero Challenge to neutralize emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases by accelerating the global sustainability and cleantech revolution. Efficient power generation, distribution and conversion are key factors in driving…
氮化鎵功率半導體全球領導廠商 GaN Systems 今天正與數目越來越多的產業生態圈夥伴一起解決當今最具急迫性的淨零挑戰，透過潔淨科技來減少二氧化碳的排放量，加速永續路徑藍圖。 提高發電效率、減少能源傳送及轉換間的耗損，是加速永續減少碳排的關鍵。與矽及碳化矽相比，氮化鎵 (GaN) 是一個本質上較永續的材料，任何採用 GaN 功率半導體的電力轉換設備皆為更潔淨的地球盡一份心力。工業馬達是用電量最高的設備，西門子 (Siemens) 微型馬達產品開發經理 Christian Neugebauer 表示， 「透過 GaN 功率半導體來，西門子的工控產品效率獲得大幅提升。」另外，當現代人生活離不開影音娛樂、照片分享、線上遊戲及音樂串流，採用 GaN 功率半導體的電源供應器，能為資料中心減少 50% 功率耗損，同時提高功率密度，縮小電源尺寸。 在發電應用方面，Enphase Energy 採用 GaN 功率半導體所設計的逆變器，不僅效率提高，功率密度更提高 50%；受惠於 GaN 卓越的物理特性，Enphase Energy 的發電系統設計上減少銅、塑膠等資源使用，在達到高輸出功率的同時維持小巧尺寸。 在消費電子應用方面，GaN Systems 也協助像 Dell、Harman 等領導品牌公司，在效率及尺寸上達到前所未有的突破。其中，Harman 的充電器受惠於 GaN 功率半導體，在塑膠的使用上減少了 90%。 投資者更視 GaN 功率半導體技術為解決氣候變遷的一項利器。加拿大商業發展銀行 (Business Development Bank of Canada, BDC), Cycle Capital, 加拿大出口發展局 (Export Development Canada,…
