2022 SEMI ZABALA - SAGAN

Donostia-San Sebastián – November 2022 Semi Zabala announces participation in the SAGAN Consortium as part of the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme.

Semi Zabala will form part of the SAGAN consortium that has the goal of designing and validating a 650V platform of Gallium Nitride (GaN) HEMTs that will be resistant to the extreme conditions of space especially radiation. Europe is funding this effort to achieve the goal to establish a fully European GaN transistor supply chain to increase European competitiveness in the space industry. More information can be found at www.sagan-he.eu

Semi Zabala’s role will be that of designing the transistors which will then be fabricated by IMEC in Belgium with backend processing performed by Disco Hi-Tec all coordinated by Sener Aeroespacial a satellite equipment manufacturer with packaging capabilities.

The project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme under the HORIZON-CL4-2021-SPACE-01-81 action: “Discrete Power Devices”. The project will start on January 1st 2023 and will have a duration of 3 years.
