keteq.GaN launch in Kuching targets efficient power conversion
-
Sarawak's SMD Semiconductor unveiled keteq.GaN, a locally designed gallium nitride power semiconductor chip, at IDECS in Kuching on October 5. The launch was held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, DayakDaily reported.
Its focus is power conversion and management rather than simply processing data. SMD identifies AI infrastructure, renewable energy, battery energy storage, smart grids and future solid-state transformers as the applications it is targeting.
The company was established in 2022. Its chairman said the next step is to take the technology beyond design and into practical applications — an important distinction for a state developing both energy and semiconductor industries.
The launch establishes a named local technology, but it is not a timetable for deployment. The reports give no customer rollout dates, production volumes or independently measured efficiency figures. Those would show how the design translates into operating power systems.
