Sumitomo Chemical to Exhibit Compound Semiconductor Products at PCIM Europe 2025
Apr. 11, 2025
Sumitomo Chemical is pleased to announce its participation in PCIM Europe 2025, which will be held in Nuremberg, Germany, from Tuesday, May 6 to Thursday, May 8, 2025. Established in 1979, this annual event showcases the latest advancements in power conversion, intelligent motion, and related technologies from around the globe. An international conference will also be held at the same time as this and bring together experts in power electronics, a field focused on technologies for converting, controlling, and supplying electricity.
At the exhibition, Sumitomo Chemical will showcase its gallium nitride (GaN) substrates and high-purity GaN-on-GaN epitaxial wafers. These advanced materials are poised to be key semiconductor components in next-generation power devices. GaN power devices are expected to contribute to such things as reducing energy consumption in data center servers, for which demand is rising due to artificial intelligence, and improving battery power conversion efficiency to extend the driving range of electric vehicles.
