GaN has turned out to be the choice for most of
the power semiconductor applications and is
quickly replacing the existing silicon
technology. The various properties of GaN such as
wider bandgap, high break-down voltage, larger
critical electric field, and higher thermal
conductivity let the GaN devices operate at
higher voltages, high switching frequencies,
handle higher power density, and offer enhanced
power efficiency than the pure Si devices. These
properties allow the GaN discretes like Schottky
diodes, MOSFETs, and the other advanced
transistors to operate at much higher voltage
levels, which are difficult for the counterpart
Si devices. GaN power semiconductors also help in
reducing the conduction and switching losses,
thereby offering higher efficiency in electronic
systems. The major application segments of GaN
power semiconductors currently are the inverters
( converters), RF devices, power supply modules,
and motor drives being used across all the end
user verticals. Browse more than 200 market data

For GaN power semiconductor devices, the current
market growth is primarily due to penetration in
the medium-voltage power electronics market,
mainly among medium voltage range (300V to 1KV)
applications across all the major end-user
verticals. So, it is obvious that most of the
market revenue comes from the rising number of
advanced -power applications of industrial,
power, solar wind sector and the sectors
development globally. Currently, GaN power
devices draw most of their revenue from the ICT
sector, as they have been solely focusing on
replacing their Si counterparts in various RF
power devices, particularly in RF communication
applications over the past few years. With
respect to features, the GaN devices are much
smaller, lighter but tougher and efficient than
silicon semiconductor devices and serve as
perfect replacements for their silicon
counterpart devices which have hit maturity. With
additional features offered by GaN in these
devices such as low sensitivity to ionizing
radiation, better stability in some radiation
environments, GaN devices also have a future in
solar cell arrays, satellites and high-end power
appliances in the Military, Defense Aerospace
sector. Apart from this sector, these devices
also have huge revenue potential in the
automotive and transportation sector, mainly in
the electric vehicles hybrid electric vehicles
segment of the automotive sector. Speak to

The markets total competitive landscape
currently has only a handful of players, but the
number of players is expected to increase quickly
over the coming years, with several power
semiconductor industry giants and new start-ups
entering into the field of GaN power
semiconductors. Currently, the overall GaN power
semiconductors market accounts for less than 1
of the total power semiconductors market
(currently at 34 billion including power
discretes and power ICs), but over the next ten
years, the entire base for power semiconductors
electronics players is expected to penetrate this
new value chain, thereby rapidly increasing the
percentage share. Todays world includes numerous
suitable power applications for GaN in several
application segments, such as power distribution
systems, industrial systems, heavy electrical
systems, turbines, heavy machinery, advanced
industrial control systems, electro-mechanical
computing systems, and so on also inclusive of
several new power applications (clean-tech) such
as High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), Smart Grid
Power Systems, Wind Turbines, Wind Power Systems,
Solar Power Systems, Electric Hybrid Electric
Vehicles. Another application sector is ICT, with
several communication application segments such
as RF, RADAR, and Satellite communication
offering huge revenue potentials owing to the
unbeatable ability of GaN to operate at
high-frequency ranges, including microwave
frequencies. The potential market size of these
massive applications is currently in trillions,
making the total addressable market for the GaN
power semiconductors worth billions. Ask Discount

The GaN power semiconductors market is expected
to reach 12.60 million by the end of 2012. The
phenomenal growth rate of approximately 60 to 80
year-on-year is expected to continue for the
following years. The forecasted revenue for GaN
power semiconductors is 1.75 billion by end of
2022 (after 10 years) at an explosive CAGR of
63.78 from 2012 to 2022. Apart from power
semiconductors, GaN is predominantly used in
optosemiconductors, for LEDs and laser diodes.
The total GaN semiconductors (including both,
power and optosemiconductors) market revenue is
expected to reach 2.6 billion by 2022.  About
