Mitsubishi Electric pursues gallium-oxide wafers

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation acquired an equity position in Novel Crystal Technology, Inc., a Japanese company that develops and sells gallium-oxide wafers. 

Novel Crystal Technology, one of the world's first companies to develop, manufacture and sell gallium-oxide wafers for power semiconductors, and now a leading producer of these products, has manufacturing technology that Mitsubishi Electric will use in its production of gallium-oxide power semiconductors.

Mitsubishi Electric said it now expects to accelerate its development of superior energy-saving gallium-oxide power semiconductors by combining its own expertise in the design and manufacture of low-energy-loss, high-reliability power semiconductors with Novel Crystal Technology's expertise in the production of gallium-oxide wafers.
