( FPLSF ) , producer of specialty semiconductors and performance materials, on Thursday said it is officially launching the commercialization rights for its portfolio of gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) patents that will boost semiconductors and power switching technology. According to the statement, these patents can enable the rapid prototype development and first-to-market commercialization of novel vertical GaN-on-Si power devices by companies operating in the High-Power Electronics (HPE), Electric Vehicles (EV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) server sectors.

"Our 54 patents have now been shown to be more high-performing and efficient than the current alternative through recent academic demonstrations. As such, our portfolio of patents is uniquely positioned to enable industry-leading HPE and EV companies to rapidly develop and commercialize first-to-market vertical GaN-on-Si power devices that will revolutionize high-voltage semiconductor applications," said Gervais Jacques, President and CEO of 5N+.
