GaN Semiconductor Devices Market to Grow at 17% CAGR By 2024 and Reach >US$3.4 Billion

Posted by MSE Supplies on

Market Research illustrates the growth opportunities of the global GaN semiconductor devices at US$3,438.4 million by 2024. The market, which had a valuation of US$870.9 mn in 2015, is expected to exhibit an exponential CAGR of 17.0% over the period between 2016 and 2024, which brings tremendous opportunities for all the players from R&D to device manufacturers and system designers. As compared to gallium arsenide (GaAS) and silicon carbide (SiC), Gallium nitride (GaN) is a new technology and is a wide band gap semiconductor material. GaN semiconductor devices provide a competitive advantage in terms of thermal performance, efficiency, weight and...

CVD Single Layer Graphene Significantly Enhances Fuel Cell Efficiency

Posted by MSE Supplies on

Graphene is increasingly studied as a promising platform for developing novel separation technologies in applications such as fuel cells.  This interest has arisen because graphene is a maximally thin membrane that, once perforated with atomic accuracy, may allow ultrafast and highly selective sieving of gases, liquids, dissolved ions and other species of interest.   High quality single layer graphene films can be ordered from msesupplies.com.  It is known that Andre Geim and co-workers (Nature, A.K. Geim et.al 2014), discovered proton transfer through single layer graphene and other 2D materials. Also graphene is known for its dense lattice packing structure, inhibiting the passage...

Ultralight mechanical watch enabled by graphene

Posted by MSE Supplies on

An ultralight high-performance mechanical watch made with graphene is unveiled today in Geneva at the Salon International De La Haute Horlogerie thanks to a unique collaboration. The University of Manchester has collaborated with watchmaking brand Richard Mille and McLaren F1 to create world’s lightest mechanical chronograph by pairing leading graphene research with precision engineering. The RM 50-03 watch was made using a unique composite incorporating graphene to manufacture a strong but lightweight new case to house the delicate watch mechanism. The graphene composite known as Graph TPT™ weighs less than previous similar materials used in watchmaking. Graphene is the world’s...

Functional OLED electrodes are produced from graphene for the first time

Posted by MSE Supplies on

 For the first time, it has been possible to produce functional OLED electrodes from graphene. The process was developed by Fraunhofer researchers together with partners from industry and research. The OLEDs can, for example, be integrated into touch displays, and the miracle material graphene promises many other applications for the future. High quality single layer graphene films can be ordered from msesupplies.com.  The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP from Dresden, together with partners, has succeeded for the first time in producing OLED electrodes from graphene. The electrodes have an area of 2 ×...

What are the Differences Between GaN and GaAs RF Power Amplifiers?

Posted by MSE Supplies on

The need for high power in the VHF, UHF, and microwave bands has led to transistors that can easily supply tens to hundreds of watts at RF frequencies to 10 GHz and beyond. Most of these devices are made with gallium arsenide (GaAs) or gallium nitride (GaN). MSE Supplies is a leading supplier of high quality crystal substrates, including GaAs and GaN.   Table Of Contents Semiconductor Types Transistor Types GaAs RF Power Amplifers GaN RF Power Amplifiers Conclusion  Semiconductor Types GaAs and GaN are compound semiconductors. Known as III-V semiconductors, they fall into categories of elements with either three...
