Abstract:
Gallium nitride GaN is a wide bandgap 3.45 eV at 300K III-V compound semiconductor. The large direct bandgap and high electron drift velocity of GaN are important properties in the performance of short wavelength optical devices and high power microwave devices. Immediate applications that would be greatly enhanced by the availability of GaN andor AlxGa1-xN devices include threat warning systems based on the ultraviolet UV emission from the exhaust plumes of missiles and radar systems which require high power microwave generation. Important future applications for devices produced from these materials include blue and ultraviolet semiconductor lasers, blue light emitting diodes LEDs and high temperature electronic devices. This report discusses this material.
