GaN HEMT Device&Process
From 4G to 5G, the gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has high electron mobility, wide band gap energy and high dielectric strength. Compared with silicon substrate (Si), it can be used in Working under high voltage and high temperature environment shows that it will occupy an important position in the field of microwave amplification and electric energy conversion in the future. GaN-on-SiC technology can provide more efficient and reliable functions to provide clearer communications.
GaN HEMT Advantages of applications in the microwave field
Higher efficiency: reduce power consumption, save power, reduce heat dissipation costs, and reduce total operating costs. Larger broadband: Improve information carrying capacity, use fewer components to achieve multi-frequency coverage, and reduce terminal product costs. It is suitable for spread spectrum communication, electronic countermeasures and other fields. Higher power: In the frequency band above 4GHz, it can output a frequency much higher than that of gallium arsenide, which is especially suitable for radar, satellite communication, relay communication and other fields.

GaN Power FET Device Process
The high electron energy characteristics of gallium nitride make it have extremely high power conversion efficiency and excellent high frequency characteristics. Most applications in the GaN power market are still power-related applications, such as fast charging of mobile phones, and high-wattage power supplies. In addition, LiDAR applications are high-end solutions that can also take advantage of the high-frequency switching characteristics in GaN power components.
Advantages of GaN Applications
High conversion efficiency: The band gap of gallium nitride is 3 times that of silicon, and the breakdown electric field is 10 times that of silicon.
The on-resistance of GaN switching power devices with the same rated voltage is much lower than that of silicon devices, which can greatly reduce the conduction loss of the switch.
High operating frequency: The parasitic capacitance of GaN switching devices is small, which can reduce the number or size of magnetic components such as capacitors, transformers, etc. around the entire system, reducing volume and consumption of raw materials.
High ambient temperature: The forbidden band width of gallium nitride is as high as 3.4eV, and the intrinsic electron concentration is extremely low, and electrons are not easily excited, so gallium nitride devices can work in a relatively high temperature environment.
