COMPANY PROFILE
Contribute the greatest benefit to humankind with ”Multi-functional inter layer™"
Growing Single-crystal on Epitaxial multiple layers has been challenging/difficult in semiconductor industries. Gaianixx Inc., a University of Tokyo start-up, provides more performance and cost efficiency in manufacturing compound semiconductors such as SiC and GaN.
COMPANY STORY
Origin
A co-founder Mr. Takeshi Kijima has elucidated the mechanism of "Dynamic lattice matching technology" at Tabata Lab in The University of Tokyo and optimized M4 technologies (Material, Method, Machine, Member) for single crystallization of hetero-epi layers. With active support by UTEC, co-founding members were recruited and Gaianixx was found.
Strength
Proprietary epitaxial multiple-layer single-crystallization technology with ”Multi-functional inter layer™”, enabling a business model applicable to various industries due to the crystallization technology suitable for various types of substrates, crystals, or functional layers.
UTEC’s value add
UTEC provides comprehensive hands-on support ranging from team building to finance strategy even at pre-incorporation stage.
