Horizon Space: SiC Substrates for GaN MMICs (Phase A)
Funds one €6–7M project to industrialise an EU source of semi-insulating SiC substrates — the wafer base for the GaN chips in satellite radios.
Horizon Space: SiC Substrates for GaN MMICs (Phase A) is a European Commission call that funds one €6–7M project to industrialise an EU source of semi-insulating SiC substrates — the wafer base for the GaN chips used in satellite radios. Europe's satellites depend on GaN radio-frequency chips, and those chips are built on semi-insulating silicon-carbide wafers that today come almost entirely from …
Development and industrialisation of an EU-based semi-insulating SiC substrate capability at 100/150 mm — the wafer foundation for GaN RF and mm-wave chips used in space. One award covering supply-chain build-up, qualification planning against space standards (ECSS, ESCC), and a commercialisation roadmap.
