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...

Transition metal impurities can kill the efficiency of GaN-based LEDs

Posted by MSE Supplies on

Using advanced first-principles calculations, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) researchers have demonstrated the mechanism by which transition metal impurities – iron in particular – can act as nonradiative recombination centers in nitride semiconductors. The work highlights that such impurities can have a detrimental impact on the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on gallium nitride or indium gallium nitride. This is a schematic illustration of Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination due to iron in GaN. Iron is a deep acceptor with a defect level (black line) close to the GaN conduction band (green). The charge density corresponding to this localized level is...
