DB HiTek to Debut at Electronica India 2026 with Ambitious Market Expansion Plans
DB HiTek to Debut at Electronica India 2026
DB HiTek, recognized as South Korea's premier foundry specialized in 8-inch packaging, is set to make a significant entrance at Electronica India 2026. This prominent trade fair is scheduled to take place from September 16 to 18 in Bengaluru, often deemed the Silicon Valley of India. The company is aiming to enhance its engagement with local clients while striving to carve out a robust foothold in the burgeoning Indian market.
Electronica India stands as the leading exhibition in South Asia focused on electronic components, systems, applications, and associated solutions. DB HiTek will showcase its key processing technologies, including its flagship BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process along with next-generation power semiconductors like SiC (Silicon Carbide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride). The company is particularly focused on developing fresh business avenues with local firms lacking in-house manufacturing capabilities.
With considerable government backing and ongoing active investments, India’s semiconductor ecosystem is witnessing rapid growth. Local businesses that have traditionally depended on chip design services are now venturing into semiconductor product development, reflecting a growing need for foundry services. In response, DB HiTek is bolstering collaborations with Indian firms without their own manufacturing spaces and intends to utilize the upcoming exposure to strengthen relationships with prospective clients.
At the event, DB HiTek will concentrate on its process technologies for power semiconductors, an area where it has established a competitive edge. The BCD process has successfully sold a total of 9 million wafers, and the firm plans to leverage its extensive production experience and process knowledge to branch out into high-value applications within automotive and industrial sectors.
Moreover, in the realm of next-generation power semiconductors, DB HiTek will unveil its advancements pertaining to SiC and GaN processes, along with its roadmap for large-scale production. The company has recently completed the qualification for its 1,200 V SiC MOSFET process and anticipates finalizing the qualification for its 650 V GaN process by December of this year. Currently, performance evaluations of products utilizing these processes are underway with strategic customers.
Additionally, DB HiTek will exhibit a variety of specialized process technologies including X-ray, global shutter, SPAD (Single-Photon Avalanche Diode), and other specialized CIS technologies, as well as mixed-signal/RF processes, further broadening its client portfolio in the region.
A representative from DB HiTek stated, "India is a market where the swift expansion of local firms without manufacturing facilities and an evolving semiconductor ecosystem is creating new business opportunities. Through our participation in Electronica India, we aim to strengthen our relationships with local clients and continue identifying new avenues for business grounded in our expertise in power semiconductors and specialized processes."
This strategic move positions DB HiTek favorably within a dynamic market landscape, paving the way for innovative partnerships and expansive growth as India continues to emerge as a global hub for semiconductor technology.
