DB HiTek to Showcase Latest Innovations at PCIM 2025
DB HiTek, a prominent 8-inch foundry company, is gearing up to participate in PCIM 2025, which is recognized as Europe's largest power semiconductor exhibition. Scheduled from May 6 to May 8 in Nuremberg, Germany, this event promises to be a significant platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovations in the semiconductor industry.
The company's participation aims to enhance its presence in the European market, which has seen relatively limited engagement compared to other regions. At PCIM 2025, DB HiTek will display the latest advancements in its top-tier technologies, including BCDMOS and Specialty CIS, along with next-generation power semiconductors, notably Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN).
Focus on SiC and GaN Technologies
SiC and GaN technologies are increasingly recognized as critical components for future growth in the semiconductor sector. DB HiTek is actively developing these power semiconductor processes to address rising demand in various applications, particularly in Europe. The firm has recently completed the foundational characteristics of its 8-inch SiC wafer through in-house processing, aiming to improve yield and reliability by the end of 2025.
Moreover, DB HiTek has successfully developed an 8-inch GaN process with 650 V HEMT characteristics. The company plans to finalize the reliability verification within the year and anticipates launching a specialized GaN Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) service in October to support customer evaluations.
Industry analysis from Yole Développement projects significant growth for the global SiC and GaN power semiconductor markets, estimating an increase from $3.6 billion in 2024 to $7.6 billion by 2027, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 27.6%.
Strategic Goals at PCIM 2025
In light of its participation at PCIM, DB HiTek expressed that this exhibition offers a valuable opportunity to highlight its strengths in supporting customers without in-house manufacturing and collaborating with global clients within the European market. Currently, DB HiTek supplies semiconductors to approximately 400 companies, with deliveries exceeding 6 million 8-inch wafers for analog and power semiconductor applications. This expansive reach includes engagement with various partners in the production of Specialty CIS technologies such as x-ray sensors, Global Shutter, and SPAD, with a growing share in automotive chips in recent years.
As DB HiTek seeks to broaden its footprint in the burgeoning European market, it aims to leverage this event to attract new customers and strengthen existing partnerships. The firm’s established reputation as a global leader in 8-inch analog and power semiconductor processes will be pivotal in these endeavors.
Overall, the upcoming PCIM 2025 event represents not only an opportunity for DB HiTek to showcase its technological advancements but also a strategic initiative to solidify its position in the fast-evolving European semiconductor landscape. The company is poised to capitalize on the increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions as industries shift toward more sustainable technologies in the years ahead.
