onsemi Powering the Next Leap Forward in AI and Electrification

A Breakthrough for AI and Electrification

onsemi’s vertical Gallium Nitride (vGaN) technology is a breakthrough power semiconductor technology that delivers record efficiency, power density, and ruggedness for the age of AI and electrification.

Developed and manufactured at the onsemi’s fab in Syracuse, NY, this next-generation “GaN-on-GaN” design moves current vertically through the chip instead of along the surface to enable far greater performance in a smaller, double-sided cooled package.
