(Isstories Editorial):- Brussel, Belgium Mar 26, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – BelGaN, a leading automotive certified semiconductor foundry in Europe, has qualified its “BEL1” 1st generation 650V eGaN platform for volume production for several lead customers that placed orders. With achieving this important milestone within only 2 years, the BelGaN team demonstrates its capabilities and operational performance and is now ready to scale-up to a high volume GaN (Gallium Nitride) foundry in Europe.
