The first Seminar on Gallium Oxide Technology and Industry in 2024

      Wide bandgap semiconductors have become one of the strategic commanding elevations of international scientific and technological competition. Gallium Oxide, as a new ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material, has shown excellent performance far beyond the theoretical limit of traditional semiconductor materials in the fields of power devices, radio frequency devices and photodetectors, and has played a key role in promoting the development of related devices to higher efficiency, smaller volume and higher temperature resistance, which has attracted extensive attention from academia and industry. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, 5G/6G communication, smart grid and other emerging technology fields, the market demand for Gallium Oxide materials and devices is growing, and its industrialization process will also accelerate.

      To promote the academic and technical exchange and cooperation and industrial development of Gallium Oxide nationwide, ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center, Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Xidian University, Hangzhou Fujia Gallium Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Garen Semiconductor Co., Ltd., Semiconductor Online and Asian Gallium Oxide Alliance will jointly organize the First Gallium Oxide Technology and Industry Seminar in 2024 on July 17-18, 2024 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
