KEY INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS:

In May 2021: Raytheon Technologies Corporation entered into partnership with GlobalFoundries to develop and commercialize a gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon process for 5G and 6G RF. The GaN process technology improves RF performance. It maintains operational and production costs and enables levels of power and power efficiency for 5G and 6G RF millimeter-wave operating frequency standards.

In January 2021: Yaskawa Electric Corporation, a Japanese power electronics firm, entered into a partnership with Transphorm, a GaN-based power conversion product provider in California. Under the agreement, Yaskawa will use Transphorm's GaN power devices for industrial power conversion applications that include variable frequency drives and servo motors.

In February 2021: Northrop Grumman signed a contract worth USD 236.9 million with the U.S. Department of Defense to develop eight gallium nitride active electronically scanned array radar systems for the U.S. Marine Corps.
