Chasing 5G, GaAs/GaN Remains the Absolute Star. Due to the higher frequency bands and larger bandwidths of 5G solutions compared to 4G, the path loss is relatively greater, which poses new requirements for the material performance of RF front-end devices: 1) larger bandgap; 2) higher critical breakdown electric field; 3) higher thermal conductivity; 4) higher … Read more
Source: Semiconductor Industry Observation In the field of power management, with the increasing demands for high voltage and high performance applications, GaN (Gallium Nitride) is gaining more attention. Theoretically, GaN provides technical advantages that surpass traditional silicon MOSFETs. Although the current power GaN market seems negligible compared to the $3.28 billion silicon power management market, … Read more
