Onsemi, GlobalFoundries to develop next-generation GaN power devices

onsemi (ON) signed a collaboration agreement with GlobalFoundries (GFS) to develop and manufacture advanced gallium nitride power products using GF’s state-of-the-art 200mm eMode GaN-on-silicon process, starting with 650V. This collaboration accelerates onsemi’s roadmap for high-performance GaN devices and integrated power stages, expanding its portfolio with high-voltage products to meet the growing power demands of AI data centers, electric vehicles, renewable energy, industrial systems, and aerospace, defense and security. onsemi will pair its industry-leading silicon drivers, controllers, and thermally enhanced packages with GF’s 650V GaN technology platform to deliver optimized GaN devices with higher power density and efficiency. These include power supplies and DC-DC converters for AI data centers, onboard chargers and DC-DC converters for electric vehicles, solar microinverters and energy storage systems, motor drives and DC-DC converters, for industrial and aerospace, defense, and security applications. onsemi will begin sampling in the first half of 2026.
