DB HiTek to Showcase Latest Power Semiconductor Technologies at PCIM 2025 in Nuremberg
SEOUL, South Korea, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DB HiTek, a leading foundry company specializing in 8-inch wafers, is gearing up to expand its presence in the European market by participating in PCIM 2025, the largest European exhibition for power semiconductors, taking place in Nuremberg, Germany from May 6th to 8th.
The company plans to unveil its cutting-edge advancements in BCDMOS, Specialty CIS, SiC, and GaN power semiconductors at the event. Particularly, the focus will be on SiC and GaN power semiconductor processes, which DB HiTek sees as key drivers of future growth.
In February, DB HiTek achieved significant milestones in its 8-inch SiC wafer processing internally. The company aims to enhance yield and reliability this year and aims to offer this process to customers by the end of 2025.
Additionally, DB HiTek successfully developed an 8-inch GaN process featuring 650V HEMT characteristics and is on track to complete reliability verification this year. The company also announced the launch of a specialized GaN MPW service in October to actively support customer product evaluations.
According to market research firm Yole Développement, the global SiC and GaN power semiconductor market is expected to grow from $3.6 billion in 2024 to $7.6 billion by 2027 with a high CAGR of up to 27.6%.
Commenting on their participation in PCIM 2025, DB HiTek stated, "This exhibition will provide an opportunity to showcase our strengths in supporting non-fab customers and collaborating with global clients in the European market."
While DB HiTek has established itself as a global leader in 8-inch analog and power semiconductor processes, its European customer base remains relatively small. The company aims to use this event to expand its footprint in the growing European market by acquiring new customers and strengthening partnerships with existing ones.
Currently, DB HiTek produces chips for 400 companies with cumulative deliveries of 6 million 8-inch wafers for analog and power semiconductors. The company has also secured Specialty CIS technologies, including X-ray sensors, Global Shutter, and SPAD, and actively participates in mass production with various partners. Its semiconductor applications span mobile, consumer, and industrial sectors, with a growing share in automotive chips.
In conclusion, DB HiTek’s presence at PCIM 2025 highlights its commitment to innovation and collaboration in the power semiconductor industry. With a focus on SiC and GaN technologies, the company is poised to capitalize on the rapid growth of the market. By showcasing its latest developments and engaging with potential partners, DB HiTek is set to solidify its position as a key player in the European market.
