Gallium nitride (GaN), a wide band gap semiconductor material, is a newer technology compared to other semiconductor materials, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and silicon carbide (SiC). GaN semiconductor devices offer a competitive advantage in terms of thermal performance, efficiency, weight, and size. GaN is the next-generation power semiconductor and hence, different countries are involved in developing widespread applications of GaN semiconductors. The wide band gap (WBG) semiconductor technology has matured rapidly over the last few years. Based on product, the global GaN semiconductor devices market has been classified into power semiconductors, radio devices, and opto semiconductors. Among these, opto semiconductors are being adopted largely, as they absorb and emit light. Photodiodes, LEDs, solar cells, and semiconductor lasers are all categorized as opto semiconductors. Furthermore, based on end-use industry, the global GaN semiconductor devices market has been classified into information & communication technology, automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, and others. The consumer electronics sector is increasingly adopting GaN semiconductor devices, as GaN is widely incorporated into radio frequency devices, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and power electronics, due to its ability to operate at a high frequency and high temperature. This, in turn, is expected to boost the global GaN semiconductor devices market during the forecast period.
GaN Semiconductor Devices Market: Dynamics
Improved responsiveness and enhanced battlefield performance are important areas of focus for the defense sector. Hence, a high level of integration is required between radar communication systems and electronic warfare devices that are used in military. Due to high breakdown voltage and rapid heat dissipation capacity, GaN semiconductor devices have benefitted the defense industry greatly. A major application of GaN in the military sector is its usage in HEMTs (high electron mobility transistors), which are required for high-frequency operations. Furthermore, due to high temperature resistivity, low power consumption, high breakdown voltage, better thermal stability, and high electron mobility, GaN semiconductor devices are widely acknowledged as ‘green technology’ by different industrial sectors. These devices are largely used in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, and power electronics, due to their unique properties. With rapid advancements in technology, usage of GaN is expected to be extended to various other commercial applications. Additionally, advancements intended to increase wafer diameters are expected to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of GaN devices, eventually improving the performance of these devices and making GaN more acceptable compared to other semiconductor materials. These are expected to be prominent factors propelling the global GaN semiconductor devices market during the forecast period.
