GaNext

Zhuhai Gallium Future Technology Co., Ltd., trading as GaNext, is a Chinese developer and manufacturer of high-end Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices. The company was founded in October 2020 by Dr. Wu Yifeng, an IEEE Fellow with extensive experience in the semiconductor industry, including roles at Cree and Transphorm. GaNext focuses on providing smaller, more efficient, and lower-cost GaN-on-silicon device products and complete solutions.

The company's business model revolves around the research, development, design, and production of these advanced semiconductor components. GaNext serves a wide market, with its products targeting applications in consumer electronics like mobile phone and laptop fast chargers, as well as medium and high-power scenarios such as data centers, servers, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaic systems. In 2021, the company successfully mass-produced GaN switching devices for power adapters ranging from 30W to 120W and has since been developing solutions for higher power applications up to 3600W.

Since its establishment, GaNext has secured significant funding, raising over 200 million yuan (approx. $30 million) by mid-2022. This capital is being used to fuel new product research and development, develop application solutions, and build out its supply chain. The company has established key partnerships, including with Transphorm Inc., to expand the use of GaN power electronics within the vast Chinese market.
