Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

onsemi Vertical GaN (vGaN) is a gallium-nitride power transistor architecture that conducts current vertically through the thickness of the die rather than laterally across its surface the way conventional GaN HEMTs do, an arrangement that supports higher breakdown voltage and current density in a smaller chip area.
