FUNDING GAP:
Japan's deep-tech startup Flosfia offers next-gen power chips that allow EVs to travel farther
Kyoto University startup Flosfia is developing gallium oxide power semiconductors as an alternative to silicon for devices including electric vehicles.
The company says gallium oxide delivers far lower power loss than silicon and silicon carbide, while its mist CVD process can bring production costs close to silicon.
Flosfia says its devices have met industry reliability criteria and is preparing for mass production with a target of 1 million units per month.
