GaN Materials: Paving the Way for Innovation

GaN components address critical challenges in communication, energy efficiency and future mobility. Nanoscale materials exhibit unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties:

  • III-V material-based nanowires can serve as light-emitting elements in LEDs or light-absorbing elements for non-visible wavelengths in solar cells.
  • Gallium nitride plays a pivotal role in next-gen energy-efficient power electronics for the power grid, electric vehicles, and 5G communication infrastructure.
  • Wide band gap material (GaN) offers unique properties that can be utilized within quantum technologies

What Is a Test Bed?

A test bed is more than just a facility—it’s an ecosystem where academia, organizations, and companies collaborate. By leveraging existing expertise and equipment, you can accelerate your innovation journey, reduce costs, and bring your ideas to market faster.
