Navitas Semiconductor: the history behind its technology business
Navitas Semiconductor was founded in 2014 to commercialise gallium nitride power semiconductors, a technology aimed at switching electrical power more efficiently than conventional silicon in many applications.
How Navitas Semiconductor developed
The company developed integrated GaN power ICs, became publicly traded in 2021 and broadened its portfolio by acquiring GeneSiC in 2022, adding silicon-carbide devices for higher-power applications.
Navitas Semiconductor in 2026
By 2026, Navitas supplied GaN and SiC power semiconductors for fast chargers, data centres, electric vehicles, renewable-energy systems and other power-conversion markets.
Why the history matters
Its history reflects a major semiconductor transition: efficiency gains increasingly depend on new power-device materials as electricity demand rises across computing, transport and energy infrastructure.
