Gallium nitride (GaN) epiwafers are used to make RF microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) in military radar systems, LEDs in TVs and solid state lighting, and many other applications. Kyma pulsed sputter deposition (PSD) GaN epiwafers have many advantages over existing MOCVD GaN epiwafer growth techniques. During Phase I, Kyma will identify customers and key technical specifications for high quality Gallium Nitride (GaN) epitaxial material for RF (MMICs) and power electronics applications.
