The properties and applications of gallium nitride

What is gallium nitride?

 Gallium nitride is an inorganic substance with a chemical formula of GaN. It is a compound of nitrogen and gallium. It is a direct band gap semiconductor and has been used in light-emitting diodes since 1990. The structure of this compound is similar to wurtzite with high hardness. Gallium nitride has a wide energy gap of 3.4 eV and can be used for high-power and high-speed optoelectronic components. For example, gallium nitride can be used for violet laser diodes. It can be used without nonlinear semiconductor pumped solid-state lasers (under the condition of diode-pumped solid-state lasers) to generate a violet (405nm) laser.

 In 2014, Professor Yuki Akasaki of Nagoya University and Meiji University, Professor Hiroshi Amano of Nagoya University, and Shuji Nakamura of the University of California, Santa Barbara won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of blue LEDs.

Gallium nitride GaN overview

Gallium nitride GaN powder has the characteristics of wide energy band gap, strong atomic bond, high thermal conductivity, good chemical stability (almost no acid corrosion), and has strong anti-radiation ability under photoelectric, high temperature, high power devices and high power. The application prospects of high-frequency microwave devices are broad

Gallium nitride GaN applications

The GaN material series have low calorific value and high breakdown electric field. They are essential materials for the development of high-temperature and high-power electronic equipment and high-frequency microwave equipment.

Gallium nitride GaN material series are ideal materials for short-wavelength light-emitting devices. The band gap of GaN and its alloys covers the spectral range from red to ultraviolet.

 The research and application of GaN materials is the current frontier and hot spot of global semiconductor research. It is a new type of semiconductor material used to develop microelectronic devices and optoelectronic devices. Together with semiconductor materials such as SIC and diamond, it is called the successor of the first generation of Ge and Si.

Semiconductor materials, second-generation GaAs, InP compound semiconductor materials and third-generation semiconductor materials. It has a wide direct band gap, strong atomic bonds, high thermal conductivity, good chemical stability (hardly any acid corrosion) and strong radiation resistance. It is used in optoelectronics, high-temperature high-power devices and high-power devices. The application of high-frequency microwave devices has broad prospects.
