Power-conversion technologies are experiencing the first tectonic shift since the move from bipolar to MOS. That shift, of course, is due to the viral adoption of wide-bandgap power devices. At this point, GaN is more than a specialty technology; it is a broad-scale replacement for silicon MOSFETs in applications ranging from 30 V up to 650 V — a multibillion-dollar market.

Gallium nitride (GaN) power devices have been in production for over 10 years and, beyond just performance and cost improvements, the most significant opportunity for GaN technology to impact the power conversion market comes from the intrinsic ability to integrate multiple devices on the same substrate. This capability will allow monolithic power systems to be designed on a single chip in a more straightforward, higher efficiency, and more cost-effective way.

就像生活要面對現實一樣，老年人離開舞臺而讓位給年輕人，矽元件也是需要向現實低頭。 隨著氮化鎵元件的問世和普及，正逐步淘汰舊有可靠的矽元件。 在過去的四十年中，隨著功率MOSFET元件的結構、技術和電路拓撲的創新與不斷增長的電力需求同步發展，電源管理的效率和成本一直以來得以穩步改善。 但是，在業界發展的新時代，隨著矽功率MOSFET元件接近其理論極限，其演進速度下降了很多。 同時，新材料氮化鎵的理論性能極限穩步發展，其性能極限比老化的MOSFET元件高出6,000倍，並且比目前市場上最好的氮化鎵產品高出300倍。

在超過四十年中，隨著功率MOSFET元件的結構、技術和電路拓撲的創新，可滿足不斷增長的電力需求，因此改善了電源管理的效率和成本。 然而，在這新世紀的發展，隨著矽功率MOSFET元件已經接近其理論極限，其改進速度已大為減慢。 與此同時，一種全新材料 - 氮化鎵（GaN）- 正朝著新的理論性能領域的方向，穩步發展，其性能是老化的MOSFET元件的6,000倍，以及是目前市場的最優越GaN元件的300倍。

This article discussed an oft forgotten or little-noticed part of the spacecraft enabling travel into outer space---power management in the space vehicle. Wide bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), as well as diamond, are looking to be the most promising materials for future electronic components since the discovery of silicon. These technologies, depending upon their design, offer huge advantages in terms of power capability (DC and microwave), radiation insensitivity, high temperature and high frequency operation, optical properties and even low noise capability. Therefore, wide bandgap components are strategically important for the development of next generation space-borne systems. eGaN devices are quickly gaining momentum in the space industry and we will see many more applications for them by NASA and commercial contractors in future programs like Artemis and other programs in countries around the globe pursuing efforts into Space.

This year’s PCIM Europe was attended by a record number of visitors, over 12,000. Over half (54%) were from outside Germany. They came to see over 500 exhibitors and while the subject matter was diverse and wide-ranging, there were some themes that emerged. GaN and SiC jostled for attention at this year’s PCIM Europe. Showing the potential that GaN has already realised, Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) had a stand that was well-stocked with examples of the eGaN FET technology that the company introduced in 2009.
