China's First! The South Korean media released the ranking of gallium oxide effective patent holding

      According to South Korean media recently, South Korea held a "Gallium Oxide Power Semiconductor Technology Route-map Seminar", which announced situation of the gallium oxide patent application.

      According to the analysis of the valid patents of gallium oxide power semiconductor components held by AnA Patent in six major PCT countries including Korea, China, the United States, Europe, Japan, as of September 2021, there were 1,011 patents, of which 328 were owned in China and 313 were owned by Japan, with the number of patents in the two countries accounting for more than 50% of the total. Most of the 460 patents added from September 2021 to November 2022 came from China (240) and Japan (87).

      The patent agent from AnA Patent said, " After only one year and two months, the number of patents related to gallium oxide power semiconductor components increased by about 50%, and the patent trend around the world is very active. While practical technical capabilities cannot be discussed based on patents alone, it is worth noting that China and Japan have applied for a large number of patents.”

Songshan Lake held semiconductor industry resources matchmaking meeting Building a Dream with the Same "Core"

      On March 28, Building a Dream with the Same "Core" Semiconductor Industry Resource Matchmaking Meeting was held in Songshan Lake CIMC Wisdom Valley International Conference Center. Lu Gang, member of Songshan Lake Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee, Liu Yu, fourth-level researcher of Dongguan Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and Luo Guanglin, fourth-level researcher of Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau attended the meeting.

      Semiconductor industry is the core of national information technology industry and a strategic industry supporting economic and social development and safeguarding national security. In 2023, the "No.1 Document" of Dongguan Municipal Government pointed out that we should promote the upgrading of strategic emerging industries, accelerate the building of new pillars of semiconductor, integrated circuit, new materials and other industries, and realize the scale of semiconductor and integrated circuit industry cluster exceeding 100 billion by the end of 2025.

      In share link, Songshan Lake material laboratory researcher, doctoral supervisor Mei ZengXia, around the topic of gallium oxide thin film photodetector application research, said that defect is an important entrance of material and material research and gripper. developing new high-performance direct conversion X-ray detector is the strategic direction of domestic alternative, and detailedly introduced present situation, goals, advantages and progress of gallium oxide thin film photoelectric detection research .
