Dublin, Oct. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia Pacific Silicon EPI Wafer Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - Wafer Size, Application, End User, and Type" study has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Asia Pacific silicon EPI wafer marketplace is expected to turn from US$ 1,635.16 cardinal successful 2022 to US$ 2,820.99 cardinal by 2028; it is estimated to turn astatine a CAGR of 9.5% from 2022 to 2028.

Gallium nitride (GaN), a wide bandgap semiconductor, supports the functioning of devices astatine higher temperatures and voltages than silicon-based devices. The greater dielectric breakdown of GaN besides makes it imaginable to physique smaller devices with little resistance. Lower absorption leads to smaller devices with little capacitance (on). Epitaxial GaN wafers, characterized by precocious ratio and high-power output, are a basal worldly utilized successful powerfulness and vigor frequence (RF) devices.

They are utilized successful defence radars, electrical car powerfulness converters, 5G basal stations, and speedy chargers for IT devices. For instance, IVWorks, South Korea, makes GaN epitaxial wafers a important constituent of DC powerfulness devices and 5G connection devices by utilizing heavy learning-based artificial quality (AI) epitaxy technology, further attracting a US$ 6.7 cardinal Series B investment. Due to their precocious electron mobility, existent density, and breakdown voltage, GaN tin beryllium utilized to make high-efficiency, high-output powerfulness devices that run astatine a precocious frequency.

It is smaller, quicker, and much businesslike than Si, SiC, and GaAs materials, and produces much powerfulness than these materials. GaN epitaxial maturation is indispensable connected a heterogeneous substrate since GaN has not yet been adequately developed successful free-standing wafer technology, dissimilar Si, SiC, and GaAs (Si oregon SiC). Although Si tin affordably grip wafers with tremendous diameters, a method to negociate accent and defect density is required due to the fact that of the immense lattice mismatch and thermal enlargement coefficient quality from GaN. Continuous advancements successful AI-based GaN wafers are providing lucrative opportunities for the aboriginal maturation of the silicon EPI wafer market.

Vendors successful the Asia-Pacific silicon EPI wafer marketplace tin pull caller customers and grow their footprints successful emerging markets by providing innovative products. This is apt to thrust marketplace astatine a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
