Exclusive Investor Briefing
The Material That Will Replace Silicon Already Exists.
It’s called gallium nitride (GaN). The world has known about it for 30 years. The only problem? No one could manufacture it cleanly, cheaply, or at scale. Until now — and that changes everything.
"Every data center of the future will be power-limited."
Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA
"The biggest issue we are now having is not a compute glut — it’s power."
Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft
"GaN is likely to be the preferred technology for reducing the carbon footprint of several core applications by the end of the decade."
Jochen Hanebeck, CEO, Infineon Technologies
— World’s 3rd largest semiconductor company
Why Every Major Chip Company Is Desperate for GaN
At >100 kHz switching, GaN enables motor drives and power supplies that silicon cannot match in robotics and data centers.
The Problem No One Could Solve
The $51 Billion Bottleneck Nobody Solved — Until Now
The industry has known about GaN since the 1990s. The performance gap is staggering — GaN switches 100× faster, handles extreme temperatures, and wastes dramatically less energy as heat. Every major chip company wants it. The problem was never the science.
Producing high-quality GaN the traditional way requires toxic solvents, hazardous byproducts, and per-unit costs so high that only defense budgets could absorb them. That’s the only reason we’re still in the Silicon Age.

A proprietary process that makes GaN production
clean, scalable, and finally affordable.
Mivium's process uses mechanochemistry — initiating chemical reactions through mechanical force rather than chemical reagents. The patent was developed by Jim Qiu, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, who has over 30 years in semiconductor materials and engineering as one of the recognized experts in R&D of third-generation semiconductor materials.
The breakthrough that makes all of this possible is a patented process — developed over 30 years by one of the world's foremost GaN scientists. It doesn't exist anywhere else.
Hear It Directly from The People Watching Mivium
James Altucher — hedge fund manager, 20x author, and host of The James Altucher Show with 20 million downloads — sat down to explain why Mivium represents a once-in-a-generation materials play.
