GaN and GaAs: 5G Brings Thriving Business Opportunities

Following the deployment of higher frequencies in sub-6 GHz 5G bands, GaN demonstrated properties that exceed the existing Silicon based LMDOS technology in terms of higher bandwidth and higher power density requirements. With the emerging market opportunities, the following questions are being raised in the industry: What is the business outlook for the GaN RF market with the arrival of 5G? Which technology, GaN-on-Silicon Carbide (SiC) or GaN-on-Silicon, will more successfully grow its market? Which business models will dominate in the market? How will the GaN RF business evolve in view of the US-China tension, which is becoming more sensitive than ever?

IGaN Achieves Low-Conduction Loss with 150 mm GaN-on-Si Epiwafer for RF Applications

Findings pave the way for commercialisation of RF Epistack on 200 m substrates to be commercially available end Q1 2021

IGaN’s technology has the unique advantage of achieving very low conduction loss meeting the industry standards for GaN HEMT on Si for RF applications. Recently processed IGaN's 150 mm GaN on Si HEMT wafers have achieved a conduction loss of 0.15 dB at room temperature and 0.23 dB at high temperature for an operating frequency of 10 GHz.
