  • Abstract
    A talk outlining the significant attributes of GaN as the “right semiconductor technology” at the “right time” in the RF power and power management industries will be presented. The path forward as GaN matures as a mainstream semiconductor technology and parallels with the maturation and commercialization of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) HBT technology in the 1990s will be also discussed. The potential role of GaN as a “green technology” for next generation networks and global power applications will also be highlighted.
