Gallium nitride (GaN) is used in production of semiconductor power devices and Radio-Frequency (RF) components and light emitting diodes (LEDs). GaN powered devices have proved efficient than silicon semiconductors in power conversion, RF, and analog applications. GaN conducts electrons over 1000 times more efficiently than silicon. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of GaN devices is lower than silicon, since GaN devices are produced using standard silicon manufacturing procedures in the same factories that currently produce conventional silicon semiconductors. The devices are much smaller for the same functional performance and can be produced per wafer. GaN is lower on resistance giving lower conductance losses. The devices powered by GaN are faster that yield less switching losses and less capacitance results in less losses when charging and discharging devices. Moreover, GaN devices need less power to drive the circuit and require less space on the printed circuit board. These significant benefits of GaN over other alternatives such as silicon transistors are expected to fuel the overall growth of the GaN power device market.
