2024 年 6 月 20 日，日本東京訊 ― 全球半導體解決方案供應商瑞薩電子（以下“瑞薩”，TSE：6723）今日宣布，已于2024年6月20日完成對氮化鎵（GaN）功率半導體全球供應商Transphorm, Inc.（以下“Transphorm”，Nasdaq：TGAN）的收購。隨著收購的完成，瑞薩電子將立即開始提供基于GaN的功率產品和相關參考設計，以滿足對寬禁帶（WBG）半導體產品日益增長的需求。

與傳統的硅基器件相比，GaN和碳化硅（SiC）等WBG材料具有出色的功率效率、更高的開關頻率和較小的占用空間，因此被視為下一代功率半導體的關鍵技術。受電動汽車（EV）、變頻器、數據中心服務器、人工智能（AI）、可再生能源、工業電源轉換和消費應用等需求的推動，GaN和SiC產品預計在未來十年內都將快速增長。

Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Power at Renesas表示：“通過集成兩家公司技術的交鑰匙參考設計，客戶可以立即從新的GaN產品中受益。將GaN添加到我們的產品陣容中也加強了我們致力于開發讓人們的生活更輕松的產品和技術的承諾。提供強大且可持續的電源解決方案，節省能源、降低成本并最大限度地減少對環境的影響，正是我們實現這一目標的途徑。”

投資電源業務是瑞薩實現可持續長期增長戰略的重要組成部分。瑞薩近期為鞏固這一細分市場而采取的其他舉措包括：開設專門生產電源產品的300mm晶圓廠甲府工廠；在高崎工廠增加一條新的SiC生產線；并與Wolfspeed達成協議，確保未來10年SiC晶圓的穩定供應。隨著GaN技術現已成為瑞薩產品陣容的一部分，瑞薩準備提供更全面的電源解決方案，以滿足廣泛應用領域客戶不斷變化的需求。

在完成收購Transphorm的同一天，瑞薩推出了15款全新成功產品組合，這些可立即投入市場的參考設計將新的GaN產品與瑞薩的嵌入式處理、電源、連接和模擬產品相結合。其中包括將Transphorm的汽車級GaN技術，用于車載電池充電器以及電動汽車的三合一動力系統解決方案。

例如：

-500W兩輪電動車車載電池充電器

-三合一電動汽車系統：變頻器、車載充電器、DC/DC轉換器

-240W 48V擴展功率范圍AC/DC適配器

-3.6KW雙向數字電源DAB系統

Transphorm成立于2007年，總部位于美國加利福尼亞州戈利塔，源自加州大學圣巴巴拉分校和寬緊帶行業，以獨特的技術創新為基礎。Transphorm是GaN半導體領域的創新者，設計、制造和銷售高性能、高可靠性的GaN電源產品，廣泛適用于各種高壓電源轉換應用。

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This announcement may contain certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Renesas and/or Transphorm and/or the combined group following completion of the Acquisition and certain plans and objectives of Renesas with respect thereto. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements also often use words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” ‘‘forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “goal,” “believe,” “hope,” “aims,” “continue,” “could,” “project,” “should,” “will” or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Renesas and/or Transphorm (as applicable) in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this announcement. Neither Renesas nor Transphorm undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business and competitive environments, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors.

No member of the Renesas group or Transphorm nor any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur.

Except as expressly provided in this announcement, no forward-looking or other statements have been reviewed by the auditors of the Renesas group or Transphorm. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to any member of the Renesas group or Transphorm, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employers or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.
