GaN Epitaxial Wafer
Power devices using GaN are expected to be the "green" devices that will support the low carbon society of the future.
Through its GaN epitaxial wafer technology, NTT-AT is helping to bring an early realization of an energy saving generation.
The GaN power devices as the next generation power devices enable high output, high voltage, high frequency, and low loss exceeding the limitations of Si power devices.
