April 16, 2026 | Alpha and Omega Semiconductor LimitedEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited, a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide bandgap power devices, power management ICs, and modules, marks a historic expansion of its global manufacturing footprint with the official inauguration of Kaynes Semicon’s state-of-the-art OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat. Attended by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this ceremony marks the successful implementation of AOS’ proprietary IPM5 manufacturing process at the Sanand facility. This milestone initiates high-volume production, aligning AOS’ premier power semiconductor expertise with the strategic objectives of the India Semiconductor Mission.
At Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS), our core charter has always been to deliver innovative power management solutions that push the boundaries of efficiency. Today, that vision expands globally with a strategic new foothold in India.
Key Highlights:
- Product Innovation: The facility has officially commenced commercial production of our IPM5 (Intelligent Power Modules). These highly sophisticated modules integrate 17 different dies into a single package, providing the core "intelligence" for next-generation motor controls and energy-efficient appliances.
- Strategic Partnership: Representing a strategic "Bridge between Sanand and Silicon Valley," AOS engineers and manufacturing experts collaborated extensively with the Kaynes Semicon team to accelerate the operational readiness of advanced semiconductor packaging and testing capabilities.
- Manufacturing Excellence: Moving from groundbreaking to product delivery in just 14 months, Kaynes Semicon has demonstrated the rapid speed and precision the Kaynes group is known for.
- Global Impact: These modules are not just for India’s domestic market—they are truly "Made in India, for the World."
A Shared Vision for the Future
This is a moment of immense pride for India and a significant milestone for AOS. We are honored to be a part of this journey, transitioning from ambition to execution.
A huge congratulations to the entire team at Kaynes Semicon and the Government of India for their visionary leadership. Together, we are Powering a Greener Future™.

Powering the Future: Why Thermal Management Defines the Future of Electronics
04/15/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureEvery leap forward in electronics comes with a familiar consequence: heat. Whether it’s a power module driving an electric vehicle, a laser diode used in surgery, or a 5G amplifier operating in orbit, higher performance inevitably means higher temperatures. While engineers celebrate breakthroughs in speed, density, and power, none of those specifications matter if the system can’t keep cool long enough to perform reliably.
