GaNforCS: GaN of SiC for Connectivity and Secruity
The Objective
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a compound semiconductor that is quickly becoming the technology-of-choice for many emerging applications and particularly for the microwave and mm-wave technologies.
The objective of this project is to exploit a unique grouping of south Wales semiconductor industries, CSconnected, to dramatically accelerate UK-based GaN development.
Next Gen Tech: will develop high-frequency electronic devices for ‘next generation’ technologies – from 5G and radar to satellite systems
Supply Chain: working in chip design, fabrication, innovative waveform-based characterisation, testing and production
Higher Performance: will help researchers develop Radio-Frequency Gallium Nitride (RF-GaN) technologies to produce high-speed, cost effective higher reliability and smaller chips that out-perform silicon
CSA Catapult’s involvement in the project will be supply chain development and characterisation.
