Company Overview
The company is driving innovation in the global power semiconductor industry, focusing on the development of gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors. It has become the first company in the world to achieve mass production of 8-inch silicon-based GaN wafers.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the company holds market shares of 0.2% globally and 0.4% in China for power semiconductors, while ranking first in the GaN sector.
The company plans to raise approximately HKD 1.3637 billion through the global offering, which will be used to expand GaN wafer production capacity, develop new products, enhance market penetration, and expand its global distribution network. Of the funds raised, 60% will be allocated to increasing the monthly production capacity of 8-inch GaN wafers, 20% for research and development, 10% for the distribution network, and the remaining 10% for working capital.
Additionally, the company has reached agreements with several cornerstone investors, including STMicroelectronics, to subscribe for shares totaling USD 100 million. These investors are significant participants in the semiconductor industry and support the company's development strategy.
