Broadband Technology 2000 seals Gallium Semiconductor deal
Broadband Technology 2000 has signed a distribution deal with Gallium Semiconductor a designer and manufacturer of Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) based semiconductors.
Revealing the deal at last week’s Southern Electronics exhibition in Farnborough, Broadband Technology Managing Director Phillip Hall commented, “It is a Singapore-based start-up with a European R&D centre based at Nijmegen in the Netherlands. It has a top class engineering team with the ability to produce real-time designs quickly.”
“We will be an extension of the Gallium Semiconductor design team in the UK,” he added. Hall hopes to take the products in to the European market place too. “We have been selling internationally for years,” he explains.
Gallium Semiconductor was founded in 2021. It has a manufacturing plant in the Philippines, a sales and applications presence in China and sales offices in South Korea and North Carolina in the US. The company offers both GaN bare die and packaged devices in leadless plastic, air cavity plastic and air cavity ceramic packages.
The GaN bare die devices are designed for optimal thermal behaviour and are suited to designing hybrids and modules.
“Very flexible for customisation of RF power amplifier performance,” observes Hall.
General purpose broadband amplifiers come in DFN and ACC packages with RoHS compliance.
Pulsed radar amplifiers and GaN-on-SiC power transistors also join the Broadband Technology portfolio of Gallium Semiconductor products.
Phillip Hall indicates a broad range of applications for the devices. He anticipates military and aerospace companies as customers alongside 5G communication network developers, industrial and medical customers.
