        As one of the leading international power semiconductor manufacturers, Infineon's developments are of great interest to the market and play an important role in related industries, especially in the third-generation semiconductor markets such as SiC and GaN.
        In March this year, Infineon announced its intention to acquire GaN chip leader GaN Systems, which has caused a huge reaction in the field of third-generation semiconductors, not only pushing GaN into the spotlight again, conveying a positive signal that GaN will accelerate the application of high voltage and high power markets such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, but also foreshadowing a change in the competitive landscape of third-generation semiconductors. 
        Recently, Infineon has released a new trend, indicating the determination to continue to force the GaN power device market. 
        According to foreign media reports, Infineon has announced that it will lead a joint European research project involving 45 partners, based on the European supply chain, to develop integrated GaN power designs from chip to module. 
        The project, known as ALL2GaN, has a budget of €60 million and a three-year construction cycle, and aims to use artificial intelligence to enhance the sustainability and security of the supply chain for GaN power technology, focusing on the integration of GaN chips in a variety of ways. Notably, the integration toolbox developed at Infineon's Firach facility includes individual GaN discrete components, high-performance GaN modules, chip designs and novel methods for system-on-chip integration. 
        The report notes that participants in the ALL2GaN project include the Belgian microelectronics research centre imec, Nexperia, Ericsson and others, and that the results of the project will contribute to faster integration of European chips into applications such as telecommunications, data centres and server farms.
