India Enters Elite Group of Military Chip Makers With GaN Breakthrough

India is moving into high-end defense electronics with the successful development of Gallium Nitride Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (GaN MMICs), powerful semiconductor chips designed for everything from missiles to warships.

Unlike conventional silicon-based devices, MMICs are built from compound materials that allow faster switching, higher efficiency, and more stable performance under extreme conditions.

Their chemical stability enables reliable operation at high voltages and temperatures, with minimal signal loss, reportedly making them well-suited for demanding military applications.
