Increasing adoption of GaN RF semiconductor devices in
military, defense, and aerospace applications
Increased use of RF power in military, defense, and aerospace
applications acts as a driver for the growth of the gallium nitride
semiconductor device market. The use of RF power devices in avionics and radar
systems is fueling the demand for GaN RF semiconductor devices in military, defense, and aerospace applications
across the globe. In March 2015, M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. launched a
650 W GaN on silicon carbide high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) for
L-band pulsed avionics applications. The use of GaN to develop new and advanced
products is expected to contribute to the growth of the gallium nitride semiconductor device market. In May 2015, Qorvo,
Inc. launched a series of GaN power amplifiers with improved efficiency, gain,
and power performance for military satellite and commercial VSAT applications. In
September 2015, the company launched 3 new highly reliable and compact GaN RF
transistors in plastic packages for use in civilian marine, airborne, and
infrastructure radar systems.

Growing competition from SiC in high-voltage
semiconductor applications
Silicon carbide (Sic) power semiconductor devices, since their
launch at the commercial level in 2001, have been trying to penetrate the power
semiconductor device market globally by replacing pure silicon. These devices
offer improved power efficiency and advanced power handling capacity in terms
of power rectification, power factor correction, power amplification, and power
transmission. In high-voltage range applications, SiC semiconductor devices are
the best choice in terms of their power efficiency and performance than their
GaN counterparts. For instance, at the border-line voltages between medium and
high voltages, ranging from 700V to 1,200V, the efficiency of GaN devices
reduced considerably. Thus, the preference of SiC power semiconductor devices over
GaN power semiconductor devices in power applications acts as a restraint for
the growth of the gallium nitride semiconductor device market.
