SGAN-NEXT Consortium: European supply chain with GaN epitaxial wafers

SweGaN a part of GaN project focusing on advanced Europe-based space qualified GaN technology and components for next generation Space Communications systems.

9 partners in 5 countries covering all the steps in the product development:

  • European supply chain with GaN epitaxial wafers
  • Improved 0.1–um GaN technology
  • Capability to design/implement GaN-based solutions
  • Advanced modules for high frequency operations


Swegan is developing an advanced GaN on SiC epitaxy process as part of the SGAN-NEXT project. More details about the SGAN-NEXT project and consortium are highlighted below.

Watch SweGaN’s video:

The goal of SGAN-Next: To develop a European GaN on SiC MMIC process for high frequency operating devices (Q band and beyond) targeting flexible payloads for LEO/GEO applications.


SGAN-NEXT project objectives

  • Technical reliability assessment for space qualification of European GaN on SiC MMIC foundry process
  • High frequency operation of European GaN on SiC devices
  • European GaN epitaxy supply chain
  • Development of Q-band HPA components for LEO flexible antenna
  • Development of Q-band HPA components for GEO flexible antennas
  • Development of robust RF front-end component
