GaN Systems is introducing a range of Gallium Nitride high power switching diodes and transistors for cleantech power conversion applications. Featuring exceptionally low on-resistance, near-zero forward voltage and negligible charge storage, these devices will enable switching efficiencies well in excess of current silicon based solutions and offer dramatic benefits to switching power supply designs, inverters, hybrid and electric vehicles, battery management and power factor correction . Based on licensed process IP developed in Canada and local foundry facilities, together with breakthrough GaN Systems device design IP, these gallium nitride devices will use low cost custom silicon base wafers. For the first time compound semiconductor devices will be cost competitive with silicon devices, while offering greatly superior performance.
In speed, temperature and power handling, gallium nitride is set to take over as silicon power devices reach their limits. GaN is the technology that will allow us to implement essential future cleantech innovations where efficiency is a key requirement. The excitement about GaN stems from its unique material and electronic properties. GaN devices offer five key characteristics: high dielectric strength, high operating temperature, high current density, high speed switching and low on-resistance. These characteristics are due to the properties of GaN, which, compared to silicon, offers ten times higher electrical breakdown characteristics, three times the bandgap, and exceptional carrier mobility.
