This article reviews the development and advantages of gallium nitride (GaN) for power electronics. It highlights GaN’s wide bandgap, high carrier mobility, low on-resistance, and superior thermal and high-temperature performance compared to silicon-based devices. The study also emphasizes the benefits of AlGaN/GaN heterostructural FETs in achieving high switching speeds and efficiency, positioning GaN as a promising material for modern compact and efficient power systems.
