DB HiTek to Showcase Next-Gen Semiconductor Technologies at PCIM 2025 in Nuremberg

DB HiTek, a leading 8-inch foundry, is gearing up for its participation in PCIM 2025, the most significant power semiconductor exhibition in Europe, to be held in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 6 to May 8. This event marks a pivotal opportunity for the company to increase its influence within the European market.

At the exhibition, DB HiTek will be unveiling its latest advancements in several cutting-edge technologies including BCDMOS, Specialty CIS, and the next-generation power semiconductors, Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). These innovations represent the company's commitment to drive future growth in the semiconductor sector. Particularly, the SiC and GaN power semiconductor processes, identified as primary growth areas, will be prominently exhibited.

Earlier this year, in February, DB HiTek successfully established the foundational characteristics for its 8-inch SiC wafers through comprehensive in-house processing. The company's focus for the remainder of the year is to enhance yield and reliability, with intentions to provide this process to clients by late 2025. Moreover, DB HiTek has achieved significant milestones with its GaN technology, successfully developing an 8-inch GaN process with 650V high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) characteristics. The company aims to complete reliability validations for this process within the current year and plans to introduce a dedicated GaN Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) service by October, thereby facilitating product evaluations by its customers.

According to insights from Yole Développement, a market research firm, the global marketplace for SiC and GaN power semiconductors is projected to expand from $3.6 billion in 2024 to an impressive $7.6 billion by 2027, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.6%. With this forecast in mind, DB HiTek's participation in PCIM 2025 underscores its strategic approach to fortify its presence within this burgeoning market.

A company representative highlighted that the exhibition is a valuable platform for demonstrating DB HiTek’s recognized capability in supporting fabless customers and collaborating with global clients operating within the European landscape. Though DB HiTek is positioned as a global leader in 8-inch Analog and Power semiconductor processes, its customer base in Europe remains relatively modest compared to that in other regions, prompting the company to leverage this opportunity to expand its reach and foster partnerships.

As of now, DB HiTek is in mass production for chips across 400 companies, with cumulative shipments expected to total 6 million 8-inch wafers dedicated to Analog and Power semiconductor applications. The company has also successfully secured various Specialty CIS process technologies, including X-ray sensors, Global Shutter, and SPAD, actively engaging in mass production across diverse partnerships.

With applications spanning mobile devices, consumer electronics, and industrial sectors, DB HiTek's offerings have increasingly included automotive chips in recent years. The company's strategic initiatives, technological advancements, and commitment to quality manufacturing position it as a formidable contender in the power semiconductor arena, and PCIM 2025 will serve as an essential platform to showcase these strengths.
