Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with a high electron mobility and excellent thermal conductivity. It is synthesized by various methods, including metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). GaN exhibits high electron mobility, making it suitable for high-frequency and high-power applications. It is highly resistant to high temperatures and radiation, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its wide bandgap allows for the creation of efficient blue and ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs). GaN is an important material for optoelectronics, high-power electronics, and sensor applications. It is extensively studied due to its promising properties for applications in areas like solid-state lighting, high-frequency communications, and high-power transistors.'
