CEO Commentary

 

“I can’t over-emphasize the impact that achieving the 1200 volt threshold on our vertical GaN power devices has had on our company,” said Mark Davidson, Odyssey’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our company was founded to accomplish this very goal. The content of that announcement in September enables us to focus on delivering samples to customers.”

 

“As a direct result of our press release on September 14th, our backlog of customers interested in receiving product samples has grown significantly. As a company, we remain focused on executing our milestones as we know the market and the customers are there. I am confident in our team’s ability to deliver the performance and commercial advantages relative to silicon and silicon carbide for our initial key applications in industrial motors, electric vehicles and renewable energy markets,” concluded Davidson.

Odyssey Uniquely Positioned in High Growth Megatrend Movement to High Voltage.
40% CAGR to 2027 in Odyssey’s Addressable Market

 

Odyssey’s approach to vertical GaN will offer even greater commercial advantages over silicon than silicon carbide or lateral GaN. Vertical GaN offers a 10x advantage over silicon carbide (SiC) at performance and cost levels unattainable by the competing technologies.

 

The market the Company is pursuing is large and fast growing. The 650 volt segment is the larger market today, expected to grow at a 20% compound annual growth rate. The 1200 volt product market segment is expected to grow faster at 63% CAGR and will become the larger market in the second half of this decade. Together, the 650 and 1200 volt power device market is expected to exceed $5 billion in 2027, a 40% combined CAGR according to Yole Group, a French market research firm.

 

Customers can request samples of the 650 and 1200 volt vertical GaN power devices at info@odysseysemi.com.
