Vertical Semiconductor

Vertical Semiconductor is an MIT spinout developing next-generation vertical Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices for AI data centers and grid infrastructure. Built on a decade of research from MIT's Palacios Group, its vertical GaN transistors push energy conversion closer to the chip with less power loss and heat, targeting high-voltage applications from 100V to over 2kV. The company claims up to 30% higher efficiency, a 50% smaller power footprint, and 10% lower total cost of ownership versus silicon, and has demonstrated its platform on 8-inch wafers using standard silicon CMOS manufacturing. It is a hardware/deep-tech power-electronics company with no public API, developer portal, SDK, or OpenAPI surface. Backed by Playground Global.

Vertical Semiconductor is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Compute, Semiconductor, Power Electronics, and Gallium Nitride.

Vertical Semiconductor’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 3 more developer resources.
