NitrideSysteme

NitrideSysteme is a technology company specializing in nitride-based materials and devices used in electronics, photonics, and industrial applications. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company develops and supplies substrates, coatings, and integrated components built from nitride compounds such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), and silicon nitride (Si3N4).

Its product portfolio includes GaN and AlN wafers and epitaxial layers for power electronics and radio-frequency applications, GaN-on-Si devices, and ceramic components based on Si3N4 for high-temperature and wear-resistant uses. The company also offers deposition and fabrication services, surface engineering, and contract R&D to tailor material properties and device architectures.

Markets and applications span automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, energy, and industrial equipment. Applications include high-efficiency power conversion, high-frequency communications, LEDs and photonics, protective ceramic coatings, and heat-management solutions, as well as gas sensing and other niche sensing technologies enabled by nitrides.

Operations and sustainability NitrideSysteme maintains a network of research laboratories and manufacturing facilities with clean-room capabilities for wafer processing and ceramic production. Manufacturing workflows employ methods such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), and sintering or HIP finishing for ceramics. The company adheres to quality and environmental management standards, pursuing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

History and development Founded in 2012 by a team of materials scientists, NitrideSysteme evolved from a research collaboration into a commercial supplier of nitride materials and devices. Milestones include establishing a commercial GaN product line and expanding into nitride ceramic components for industrial tooling and protection.
