Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology developer Exagan has established Exagan Taiwan Ltd. to accelerate the deployment of intelligent power solutions in the region.

The facility in Taipei’s Nankang Software Park is led by Ralf Kilguss, Asia sales director, who will leverage his 20 years of experience in the semiconductor and power electronics markets.

Since its creation in 2014, Exagan has developed multiple partnerships in Asia to support product design, development, and manufacturing. Founded in 2014 with support from CEA-Leti and Soitec, Exagan aims to accelerate the power-electronics industry’s transition from silicon-based technology to GaN-on-silicon technology, enabling smaller and more efficient electrical converters.
