The Future of Gallium Nitride
author:
The global gallium nitride industry is in its infancy
Gallium nitride is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula GaN. It is a compound of nitrogen and gallium. It is a semiconductor with a direct bandgap. It has been commonly used in light-emitting diodes since 1990. Gallium nitride has a very wide energy gap of 3.4 electron volts, and can be used in high-power, high-speed optoelectronic components, such as gallium nitride can be used in violet laser diodes. Gallium nitride and other third-generation semiconductor materials have an important impact on the development of the country's new energy vehicle industry, 5G communication industry, consumer electronics industry and many other industries. In 2020, all developed countries will unanimously raise semiconductor technology and industry to the level of security strategy, consider using national strength to carry out technology research and development, industrial chain development, raw materials, manufacturing, etc., multi-dimensional and all-round deployment to seize the commanding heights.
Gallium nitride semiconductors can withstand stronger currents and higher voltages than silicon semiconductors. These advantages have led to intensive R&D of gallium nitride for use in next-generation power semiconductor devices, for vehicles and other applications. However, from the perspective of material permeability, according to statistics from Yole and China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization, among current semiconductor materials, silicon Si still has the highest permeability and occupies an absolutely important position. In 2020, the permeability of Si will be about 97.85%. Gallium nitride GaN has a penetration rate of only 0.17%, which is in its infancy. However, judging from the future development trend, the penetration rate of gallium nitride will continue to rise.
Global Gallium Nitride Market Scale is Growing Rapidly
GaN has long been used in the production of LEDs and RF components, but is now moving towards mainstream acceptance in a growing number of power switching and conversion applications. Here, GaN-based ICs can address the need for improved system performance and efficiency, space savings, and reliable operation at higher temperatures. From the perspective of changes in the scale of the global gallium nitride (GaN) market, according to Market and Market statistics, the global GaN device market will gradually expand from 2018 to 2020, and the global GaN device market will reach US$18.4 billion in 2020 , an increase of 28.67% year-on-year.
Global Gallium Nitride Device Market Segmentation: Optoelectronic GaN Devices as the Main Product Type
At present, the main classification of global gallium nitride devices is optoelectronic gallium nitride devices, radio frequency gallium nitride devices and power gallium nitride devices. From the perspective of market segments, the market application degree of global photoelectric GaN devices is the highest, accounting for 65.22%; followed by RF GaN devices, accounting for about 29.89% of the market; and the market share of power GaN devices is about 29.89%. The market size accounts for the smallest proportion, only 4.89%.
The global gallium nitride industry has good technical and market prospects
——Countries around the world start a wave of gallium nitride research
In terms of technological development prospects, in the future, gallium nitride semiconductors will still be the key direction of scientific and technological research in major countries around the world. During 2020-2021, countries around the world have launched third-generation semiconductor material R&D and production projects such as gallium nitride. For example, the British government is supporting Compound Semiconductor Center and Newport Wafer Fab (Newport Wafer Fab) to develop a 200mm gallium nitride Power transistor foundry technology, so it is expected that the global gallium nitride industry will usher in a period of rapid technological development in the future.
Downstream demand continues to promote the expansion of the global gallium nitride market
In terms of market prospects, gallium nitride is a new type of semiconductor material for the development of microelectronic devices and optoelectronic devices, and has broad prospects in the application of optoelectronics, lasers, high-temperature high-power devices and high-frequency microwave devices. With the emphasis of various countries on the third-generation semiconductor materials, the gallium nitride semiconductor material market is developing rapidly. Referring to the growth rate estimates of Market and Market, Yole and other institutions, it is estimated that the global gallium nitride component market will grow to US$42.3 billion by 2026, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 13.5%.
