GaN-based High Electron Mobility Transistors are becoming the devices of choice for high-efficiency radiofrequency power amplifiers, essential for the next generation of wireless network infrastructure, 5G. The development of GaN-on-Si High Electron Mobility Transistors technology expanded the capabilities of this material to power electronic applications up to 1200 V and beyond, reducing energy losses in photovoltaic conversion systems, providing smaller and lighter power supplies. At higher voltages, a number of new applications e.g. to electric transportation systems, electrical energy management will be possible when the availability of free-standing GaN crystalline substrate will allow the development of GaN vertical devices, an objective which currently attracts the interest of a wide research community.<br><br>Substantial energy savings and environmental benefits resulted from the global adoption of solid-state lighting and from the increased efficiency of electronic systems based on high-voltage, wide bandgap GaN-based materials. All this has been possible thanks to the work of Hiroshi Amano, 2014 Physics Nobel Prize Laureate, who will contribute two lessons to this course. The 2-days intensive PhD course (14 hours in total) will cover material growth, devices and modeling of GaN-based electronic and optoelectronic devices.<br></strong><br><strong><strong>Registration : Registration is free but mandatory before September 10 at the very latest, as availability of seats is limited.
