📡 Case Study: HEMT for RF Power

GaN for microwave radar applications

The Challenge: A researcher needed a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) structure for microwave applications. They required a specific stack: UID GaN channel (4µm) + AlGaN barrier.

The Solution: We supplied 4-inch GaN-on-Silicon (111) and Sapphire wafers with a 0.5nm surface roughness. The unpolished epitaxial surface was perfect for device fabrication without further processing.

💡 Case Study: Nanophotonics & LEDs

GaN LED structure

The Application: A photonics lab was building GaN nanostructures and required thin, high-quality GaN layers.

The Solution: We provided 4-inch Un-doped GaN on SSP Sapphire with ultra-thin layers (100nm and 150nm). This precise thickness control allowed for the etching of nanophotonic crystals.

⚡ Case Study: P-GaN for Nanowires

The Challenge: A PhD student was struggling to grow vertically oriented ZnO nanowires on p-type GaN.

The Solution: We supplied P-GaN (Mg-doped) on Sapphire. We clarified that the growth method was MOCVD and confirmed the polarity, helping the student reproduce their experimental results successfully.


Technical Data: GaN Properties

Atomic structure of Gallium Nitride crystal

Gallium Nitride is a binary III/V direct bandgap semiconductor with a Wurtzite crystal structure. It is robust, hard, and thermally stable.

  • Bandgap: ~3.4 eV (Wide Bandgap)
  • Crystal Structure: Wurtzite
  • Thermal Conductivity: Lower than Silicon Carbide (SiC), but sufficient for many RF applications when grown on Sapphire.
  • Refractive Index: Variable with photon energy, crucial for LED light extraction.
