What is a Gallium Nitride (GaN)?

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a compound composed of gallium and nitrogen, known for its hardness, high thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity, making it a highly efficient semiconductor material. Gallium nitride has garnered attention for its applications in high-efficiency power electronics and high-frequency communication devices. It is also a critical material for LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and laser diodes. Gallium nitride has a wider band gap compared to silicon, which allows it to operate stably even in high-temperature environments, providing high energy efficiency. This makes it particularly suitable for power conversion and high-frequency devices. GaN is indispensable in high-efficiency electronic devices used in smartphones, computers, and solar power systems.

Due to its powerful characteristics, gallium nitride is being increasingly utilized in various fields, including power supplies, wireless communication devices, and electric vehicle charging systems.
