summary: >
  GaN is a wide-bandgap III-V semiconductor with a wurtzite crystal structure. The Ioffe archive gives a band gap of 3.39 eV at 300 K and an approximate breakdown field of 5 x 10^6 V/cm. Its electron mobility is modest, at most 440 cm2/(V s) in the purest material at 300 K. NASA tested EPC1001 GaN transistors on the ground: after heavy-ion irradiation and 1000 thermal cycles between -55 and +125 degC, all eight parts stayed functional.
best_for: "High-voltage and high-frequency power switching, and radiation-tolerant electronics where a wide band gap and high breakdown field matter (NASA ground tests of GaN transistors)"
weakest_at: "Modest electron mobility compared with the best III-V materials, and the cost and limited supply of gallium"

        - label: "The powder"
          line: "PubChem reports H317 (may cause an allergic skin reaction) in 97.8% of 45 company reports, with a Warning signal word. About 2.2% of reports say the chemical does not meet GHS hazard criteria."

          line: "The PubChem hazards summary cites RTECS for lung fibrosis in rats after intratracheal lethal-dose studies. These are summary entries, not a full toxicology study."
  why: "Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor. It crystallizes in the wurtzite structure, with a band gap of 3.39 eV at 300 K in one table of the Ioffe archive. That band gap and a breakdown field of about 5 x 10^6 V/cm let GaN switch high voltages in small devices. The sources read here do not describe the manufacturing route."
  uses:
    - where: "Power electronics"
      line: "The EPC2045 datasheet describes a 100 V enhancement-mode GaN power transistor with RDS(on) of 7 mOhm and a continuous drain current of 16 A. It lists open-rack server power, lidar and pulsed power, and isolated power supplies as uses."
    - where: "Integrated circuits and optoelectronics"
      line: "The USGS reports that GaN is used to make integrated circuits and optoelectronic devices. ICs accounted for 73% of domestic gallium consumption and optoelectronic devices for 26%, and the USGS lists defense, high-performance computing and telecommunications among the IC uses."
    - where: "Defense and space electronics"
      line: "The USGS states that GaAs- and GaN-based ICs are used in many defense-related applications, where it says no effective substitutes exist. NASA tested EPC1001 GaN transistors for space-related use, though only on the ground and at the device level."

The Ioffe archive also has a separate page for the two-dimensional electron gas at AlGaN/GaN interfaces, which was not read in this run."
  compare: "GaN sits at the wide-bandgap end of the semiconductor family. Its band gap of 3.39 eV at 300 K and its breakdown field of about 5 x 10^6 V/cm are the numbers that set it apart in the Ioffe tables. Its electron mobility is modest, at most 440 cm2/(V s) in the purest material, and that figure caps how fast it can switch. The sources read here give no like-for-like comparison with other materials, so no ranking is made in this profile."

  handling:
    - "PubChem lists precautionary statements for GaN, including avoiding breathing dust and wearing protective gloves. Follow them when handling powder."
    - "The GHS sensitization statement (97.8% of reports) means skin contact should be avoided. Wear gloves and wash after handling."
    - "No supplier safety data sheet for GaN powder was read in this run, so check the SDS for the product you handle."
  good_for:
    - "Wide band gap. The Ioffe table gives 3.39 eV at 300 K, which is what allows high-voltage switching in small devices."
    - "Breakdown field. The approximate value of 5 x 10^6 V/cm supports high-voltage devices with thin layers."
    - "Radiation tolerance at device level. In NASA ground tests, all eight EPC1001 transistors remained functional after heavy-ion irradiation and 1000 thermal cycles."
  watch_out:
    - "Electron mobility is limited. The sources give at most 440 cm2/(V s) in the purest material, and the electrical table gives up to 1000 cm2/(V s) with no doping stated."
    - "Gallium supply is concentrated. The USGS says China accounted for 99% of worldwide primary low-purity gallium production, and US imports supply all of its gallium."
    - "Radiation and cycling tests are device-level. They do not show that the GaN material itself is radiation-hard, and irradiated devices showed higher leakage current."
  verdict: "GaN is a well-documented wide-bandgap semiconductor. Its band gap, density, melting point and thermal conductivity are printed in the Ioffe archive. The space-related evidence is limited to ground tests of one transistor family, and the supply of gallium is concentrated in China."
