Alex Lidow, ehemaliger CEO von International Rectifier und Sohn des 2013 verstrobenen Firmengründers Eric Lidow, äußerte sich gegenüber den WEKA Fachmedien wie folgt:
"We are gratified to see that Infineon recognizes the excellent technology developed by International Rectifier. Especially significant is International Rectifier's excellent GaN technology. GaN-on-silicon transistors are in the process of replacing silicon-based power MOSFETs and iGBTs, and Infineon, through this acquisition, is showing their recognition of this major technology shift."
