What is GaN?
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide bandgap semiconductor commonly used in high-power and high-frequency electronic devices. It is often used in power amplifiers, RF devices for cellular base stations, and power switching applications due to its high breakdown voltage, high switching speed, and high-temperature operation capabilities. GaN is also employed in LEDs and laser diodes.
What other technologies are related to GaN?
GaN Competitor Technologies
SiC
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that competes with GaN in high-power and high-frequency applications.
GaAs
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is another semiconductor material used in high-frequency applications, making it a competitor to GaN, especially in RF applications.
SiGe
Silicon Germanium (SiGe) is used in high-frequency applications as well, and while it can be integrated with silicon, it competes in some areas where GaN is also used.
LDMOS
LDMOS (Laterally Diffused MOS) is a silicon-based technology used in RF power amplifiers, competing with GaN in certain power and frequency ranges.
InP
Indium Phosphide (InP) is another semiconductor material, used for high-frequency and optoelectronic applications, competing with GaN in specialized areas.
IGBT
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) are used in high-power switching applications, competing with GaN in some power electronics markets.
MOSFET
Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) are a common type of transistor, and while GaN MOSFETs exist, traditional silicon MOSFETs compete in power electronics.
