3 MARKETOVERVIEWKEY FINDINGS
The global GaN semiconductors market, though it had its birth in
1990s in opto-semiconductors, it has entered a high growth rate
curve over the past few years with
growth of GaN power semiconductors, with increase in focus on
use GaN devices in
various applications of semiconductors & electronics.
The GaN semiconductors market is soon expected to transition
from birth-phase tothe growth phase in next few years and is
expected to witness exponential growth
over the next 10 years. The market is expected to continue in
its rapid growth phase
and is not expected to hit full maturity till the middle of the
next decade.
The gallium nitride power semiconductor devices possess the
potential to operate athigh switching frequency, high power levels
and voltages with better characteristics
than silicon. The number of applications is increasing day by
day in various industries
that include telecommunication, automotive, industrial, power
and even clean-tech
sector where GaN is expected to displace Silicon over the next
ten years.
Gallium Nitride (GaN) has turned out to be the choice for most
of the next generationpower semiconductor devices that operate at
high-voltage ranges, high power
density, and are best-suited for electronic applications
operating at medium-voltage
ranges (to displace silicon). These devices have started
replacing the existing silicon
technology in the overall industry and huge demand is expected
from the numerous
applications, increasing its revenue at an explosive rate.
The growth of GaN semiconductors is also aided by the rapid
developments takingplace in the manufacturing industry segments,
process, technologies for wafer anddevice manufacturing.
Numerous research activities are emerged for use of GaN material
in power and optosemiconductor devices and in technologies for GaN
device manufacturing, to develop
advanced devices, which offer better characteristics, advanced
performance and high
quality, to meet the rising demands for several upcoming
applications.
