Part 1 of this article series on gallium nitride (GaN) fundamentals described crystal structures and the formation of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), along with material figures of merit and ...
Currently available GaN technologies have their shortcomings. These are discussed in the following article followed by the presentation of a novel GaN technology that eliminates these shortcomings.
Two distinct structures have been developed for the enhancement mode of GaN-based high-electron–mobility transistors (HEMTs). These two modes are the metal-insulator–semiconductor (MIS) structure, 2 ...
What's needed to fill in the gaps in understanding GaN HEMTs and their catastrophic failures. Degradation mechanisms that plague GaN HEMTs. Why overvoltage ruggedness and surge-energy withstand go ...
As the universe of applications for power devices grows, designers are finding that no single semiconductor can cover the full range of voltage and current requirements. Instead, combination circuits ...
What are GaN HEMTs and why are they important? How GaN devices can handle kilowatt power conversion. Gallium-nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are a form of field-effect ...
Researchers at Soitec and Nanyang Technological University have reported 60%+ power-added efficiency (PAE), for moderately scaled GaN-on-Si HEMTs at 30GHz operation. The devices also perform with ...
Gallium nitride is starting to make broader inroads in the lower-end of the high-voltage, wide-bandgap power FET market, where silicon carbide has been the technology of choice. This shift is driven ...
Infineon Technologies has announced a rad-hardened GaN transistor designed to operate in harsh space environments. It “is the first in-house manufactured GaN transistor to earn the highest quality ...
