Technology development for semiconductor material gallium oxide launched
The EFRE project G.O.A.L. (1.6-14) “Gallium Oxide Application Laboratory for Power Electronics”, which was launched in September 2024, completes the value chain created at the IKZ in the field of gallium oxide technology development. In addition to the existing Cz volume crystal growing and wafering sections, the epitaxy module in the form of a 3x2” MOVPE from AIXTRON has now been added. This expansion creates the prerequisite for establishing IKZ in the EU as the only supplier of 2 inch gallium oxide epi-wafers for technology prototyping for research and industry. Over the past three years, IKZ has invested around €5 million in modern equipment along the value chain.
