GaN on Diamond Project launches

The centre has just begun an exciting new £4.3 million EPSRC funded project to develop GaN on diamond microwave devices. The aim is to use diamond layers as a heat spreading layer to allow high power radio and microwave devices for 5G and 6G communication systems. The project is a collaboration with Bristol, Glasgow...
