GaN manufacturing leverages the installed silicon supply chain

Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent to make the silicon technology supply chain incredibly efficient. How can emerging, high performance GaN transistors compete against this huge installed base of silicon-based production? Simple, the production of GaN transistors leverages the installed silicon supply chain, which significantly lowers the cost of GaN transistors!
