Innoscience is the largest 8-inch Integrated Device Manufacture (IDM) fully focused on GaN technology in the world. We fully control and own the world-wide largest dedicated 8-inch GaN-on-Si wafers manufacturing capacity. We are a team of experts and passionate people that have the mission to widespread GaN technology in the market by providing best-in-class and reliable devices at the lowest price, which is combined with a high volume capacity and security of supply as required by the industry.
Innoscience was founded on December 17, 2015 with the aim of creating the largest manufacturing site and Integrated Device Manufacture (IDM) fully focused on GaN technology in the world.
Innoscience executives understood from the very beginning that to enable the wide adoption of GaN technology in the market, performance and reliability were just the starting point. They understood that the power electronics industry demanded 3 additional key aspects. First, they demand an affordable GaN technology, as the industry is not willing to pay a big premium to use GaN device; second, they need large manufacturing capacity capable to absorb large volume and associated fluctuations and, third, they require security of supply such that they can develop their products and systems by using GaN devices without worrying about possible production discontinuation caused by e.g. change of supply product strategy.
Therefore, Innoscience understood that only by focusing and dramatically scaling-up the volume of GaN device manufacturing and controlling its own production fabs, it would be possible to address the three requirements of the electronic industry (price, volume and security of supply).
For this reason, from the beginning Innoscience has strategically focused on 8-inch wafer size, that guarantees almost a factor of 2 more devices per wafer with respect to a 6-inch wafer. Next to this, Innoscience has decided to develop a Silicon compatible process flow such that years of learning and optimization for the mass production of Silicon transistors could be leveraged for the production of GaN wafers.
Today, Innoscience has achieved its initial objective. Thanks to the two large 8-inch GaN-on-Si fabs equipped with the latest generation of (silicon) 8-inch production tools, Innoscience is the largest manufacturing site and Integrated Device Manufacture (IDM) fully focused on GaN technology in the world.
Innoscience is producing today 10,000 wpm (wafers per month) and keeps expanding its production capacity towards and beyond 70,000 wpm.
We could not have achieved this without the support of our international world-class investors that among others are CMB international, SK, ARM and CATL.
What we do
We design, develop and manufacture highly performing and reliable GaN devices for a wide range of applications and voltages (30V-650V). We assure excellent performance, reliability, support, security of supply, large capacity and lowest prices thanks to our large volume capabilities, 8-inch wafer size and advanced high-throughput manufacturing tools. We collaborate with several customers and partners to enable systems and solutions based on GaN technology.
We develop and mass manufacture highly performing and reliable GaN devices
We design, develop and mass manufacture highly performing and reliable GaN devices for a wide range of applications and voltages (30V-650V).
Thanks to our advance lithography capabilities, we produce devices with small gate length that results in better device performance. We offer to our customers a one-stop-shop where to find both low voltage and high voltage devices with excellent performance and reliability. We assure security of supply, large capacity and lowest prices thanks to our large volume capabilities, 8-inch wafer size and advanced high-throughput manufacturing tools. We believe that this is what is required by the industry to commercialize their systems with GaN device inside.
We keep innovating and improving our devices technology to make sure Innoscience stays at the forefront of GaN technology. We have an established roadmap addressing several application needs and we are open to discuss with our customers their needs in order to develop devices towards their specifications.
We assure quality and reliability
Both Innoscience 8-inch fabs (Zhuhai and Suzhou) are fully dedicated to GaN technology and are equipped with the latest generation of 8-inch Silicon manufacturing tools coming from the most known brands in the industry (e.g. ASML) that are managed and operated by experts and veteran of the industry. This intrinsically assure high quality processing, high throughput and yield.
Moreover, Innoscience has an excellent Quality Management System (QMS) based on international standards such as ISO9001 and IATF 16949. Innoscience maintains and keeps improving its manufacturing quality procedures.
Regarding reliability, Innoscience has extensive in-house wafer-level, packaging-level and system level testing capabilities that are used routinely to qualify Innoscience’s devices, significant changes and product families based on JEDEC standard. Innoscience can also perform additional reliability and qualification testing If this is needed by a specific application or requested by a customer.
As of today, Innoscience has shipped million of devices for commercial applications with zero returns related to the intrinsic device performance or reliability. This proofs once more that Innoscience devices are reliable.
We collaborate and provide support to our customers and partners
Innoscience is the largest IDM that is fully focused on GaN technology. This means that Innoscience will fully support you by listening to your needs, providing Innoscience’s samples and devices, developing specific devices for you and, in case of need, we can also support you to develop your system based on Innoscience’s GaN devices.
We have a team of system engineers that are dedicated to help customers and make e.g. demo boards to ease your system development (if this is required by you). We also have a network of design houses that can help you in developing controllers or gate drivers for Innoscience’s GaN devices towards your application.
Overall, at Innoscience, we believe in collaboration: we all want GaN technology to be successful and widespread in the market! Only if you are successful, we are successful.
