Enkris Semiconductors
A semiconductor foundry focusing on GaN epitaxy for applications in Power Electronics, RF and MicroLEDs
About Enkris Semiconductors
Enkris Semiconductors operates as a pure-play foundry specializing in Gallium Nitride (GaN) epitaxial wafers, a critical component for third-generation semiconductors. Founded in March 2012 by Dr. Kai Cheng, an internationally recognized pioneer in GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) technology, the company is headquartered in Suzhou Industrial Park, China. The firm's business model is centered on supplying advanced GaN epi-wafers to a global client base that includes academic institutions and industrial partners in the power electronics and micro-display sectors. Revenue is generated through the sale of these specialized semiconductor materials, offering both customized structures and mass production quantities.
Read full description
The company's product portfolio includes GaN-on-Si, GaN-on-SiC, GaN-on-Sapphire, and GaN-on-GaN material solutions. These materials are fundamental for manufacturing next-generation electronic devices, offering higher efficiency and performance compared to traditional silicon-based semiconductors. Enkris serves a market that demands high-performance components for applications such as automotive electronics, including on-board chargers and LiDAR systems, as well as consumer electronics, data centers, and micro-LED displays for products like AR glasses. By focusing on GaN-on-Si technology, Enkris leverages existing CMOS-compatible manufacturing infrastructure, which helps to reduce production costs for its clients.
Enkris has achieved several significant milestones, establishing its position in the semiconductor materials market. In 2014, the company launched the world's first commercial 200mm GaN-on-Si HEMT epi-wafers. This was followed by another major achievement in September 2021, when Enkris announced the first 300mm GaN-on-Si HEMT epi-wafer, suitable for high-voltage applications and compatible with sophisticated 300mm CMOS processing lines. The company holds a substantial intellectual property portfolio with over 900 patent applications filed and has secured quality certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 for the automotive industry. The company has also successfully raised significant capital through multiple funding rounds, including a Series C in late 2022, backed by investors like NIO Capital and Meituan Longzhu, to expand its R&D and production capabilities.
