iDEAL Signs Technology Partner Agreement for SuperQ MOSFETs with Power System Specialist Richardson Electronics, Ltd.

Follows launch of first SuperQ-based chips, which marks the first major advance in silicon MOSFET architecture since the Superjunction over 25 years ago.

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iDEAL Semiconductor, a fabless power semiconductor company focused on delivering breakthrough efficiencies, has announced it will partner with Power and RF  specialist, Richardson Electronics.

Under the agreement, iDEAL will gain access to Richardson Electronics' design teams and sales specialists to expand the reach of its ultra-efficient, high-performance power MOSFETs, which are based on the company's novel, patented, state-of-the-art SuperQ technology.

SuperQ is the first significant advance in silicon technology this century. It delivers up to 5.7x lower resistance and up to 2.1x lower switching loss than leading competitors. This enables power engineers to meet the demands of modern power systems while keeping the reliability, cost-effectiveness, and supply chain robustness of silicon.

The agreement follows iDEAL's launch of its first SuperQ-based products, a series of 150 V MOSFETS, and the sampling of a family of 200V MOSFETs. These offer leading figures of merit (FOM) including the industry's lowest resistance, switching charge (Q_SW) and output capacitance energy (E_OSS) and are available immediately.

iDEAL's initial devices target hard-switching, motor-control and synchronous-rectification applications including AI servers, USB power delivery, motor drives and AC/DC and DC/DC conversion.

Mark Granahan, CEO and co-founder of iDEAL Semiconductor said: "Innovation in silicon power semiconductors has slowed, with much of the industry shifting focus to alternative materials. SuperQ proves there's still room to push silicon far beyond what was thought possible. We're thrilled to partner with Richardson Electronics – their deep expertise in power electronics makes them an ideal collaborator to bring SuperQ's disruptive benefits to more customers worldwide."

Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President of Power & Microwave Technologies of Richardson Electronics said: "The SuperQ structure marks a significant breakthrough in the power sector, and we're delighted to be representing iDEAL. As a specialist in power, Richardson's team is uniquely positioned to help power engineers meet the ever-more-stringent demands being placed on them, and SuperQ will be a key component in solving their challenges."
