Gallium Nitride (GaN)
- It is a very hard, mechanically stable wide band gap semiconductor. It has a Wurtzite crystal structure.
- With higher breakdown strength, faster switching speed, higher thermal conductivity and lower on-resistance, power devices based on GaN significantly outperform silicon-based devices.
- Gallium nitride crystals can be grown on a variety of substrates, including sapphire, silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon (Si).
- Its sensitivity to ionizing radiation is low, making it a suitable material for solar cell arrays for satellites.
- It can play a key role in enabling e-vehicles and wireless communication.
- Gallium Nitride Ecosystem Enabling Centre and Incubator (GEECI) facility is located ....
