Gamzigrad-Romuliana, also known as Felix Romuliana, is a fortified Roman palace complex in eastern Serbia, built by Emperor Galerius in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries.

Gan

Gan (赣江, Ganjiang) is Jiangxi Province's largest river, a 766 km Yangtze tributary via Poyang Lake, draining about 82,000 km², supplying most of the lake's water and sediment, and anchoring Jiangxi's shipping and water management.

Gan De Dorsum

Gan De Dorsum (甘德) is a 251-km wrinkle ridge on Mercury at 13.65°N, 313.79°W, in the H-10 Derain quadrangle, IAU-approved August 18, 2026 and named for the 4th-century BCE Chinese astronomer Gan De.

Gan Garoo

Gan Garoo (גן גורו) is an Australian-themed zoo at Kibbutz Nir David in the Beit She'an Valley, northern Israel, opened in 1996, known for free-roaming kangaroos visitors can pet and hand-feed.

Gan Hai in Petah Tikva

Gan Hai (גן החי בפתח תקווה), also called Petah Tikva Zoo, is a 12-dunam municipal zoo in Petah Tikva, Israel, opened in 1996 after the old 1954 city zoo closed; it holds 69 species, about 500 animals, a lake, monkey compound, and taxidermy museum.

Gan Kim Yong

Gan Kim Yong, born in 1959, is a Singaporean politician of the People's Action Party serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry.

GaN lateral HEMT

A GaN lateral HEMT is a power or radio-frequency transistor in which current flows horizontally through a two-dimensional electron gas formed at an AlGaN/GaN interface, distinguishing it from vertical GaN devices.

Gan Mao

Gan Mao (甘茂) was a statesman and general of Qin during the Warring States period who became left chancellor and captured the Han fortress of Yiyang.

Gan Ning

Gan Ning (甘宁), courtesy name Xingba, was a Chinese military general of the late Han dynasty who served Sun Quan of Wu and fought at Wulin, Ruxu, and Hefei.

GaN power integrated circuit

A GaN power integrated circuit is a gallium nitride chip combining power transistors with drive or protection circuitry on one die, used in fast chargers and data-center power.

GaN power transistor

A GaN power transistor is a power semiconductor switch built on gallium nitride, whose wide 3.4 eV bandgap gives high breakdown field and fast, efficient switching.

GaN RF front-end modules

A GaN RF front-end module is a radio-frequency front-end module using gallium nitride transistors, typically in its power amplifier, for high-power uses like 5G base stations and radar.

GaN vertical p-n diode

A GaN vertical p-n diode is a gallium nitride power rectifier in which current flows vertically through a p-n junction, blocking high reverse voltages in a small die.

GaN vertical trench MOSFETs

A GaN vertical trench MOSFET is a gallium nitride power transistor carrying current vertically, with a gate buried in an etched trench, targeting voltages above 1000 V.

Gan Ying

Gan Ying (甘英) was a Han dynasty envoy whom Ban Chao sent toward the Roman Empire, known as Daqin; he crossed Parthia to the Western Sea before turning back.

GaN-on-diamond HEMT

A GaN-on-diamond HEMT is a gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistor built on diamond instead of silicon or silicon carbide, so heat leaves the channel far faster.

GaN-on-diamond thermal management for RF amplifiers

GaN-on-diamond thermal management places diamond, the best bulk thermal conductor, as the substrate of GaN RF power amplifiers to pull heat from the transistor channel.

GaN-on-Si HEMT

A GaN-on-Si HEMT is a high-electron-mobility transistor in which gallium nitride is grown on a silicon substrate, combining GaN's wide-bandgap performance with silicon's low cost, and serving RF power amplification and power switching.

GaN-on-Si power HEMTs

GaN-on-Si power HEMTs are power transistors built by growing gallium nitride on inexpensive silicon wafers, giving fast, efficient switching for fast chargers, data centers, and automotive powertrains.

GaN-on-Si RF power amplifier

A GaN-on-Si RF power amplifier is a radio-frequency power amplifier made from gallium nitride transistors grown on silicon, combining GaN performance with low-cost, large-wafer silicon manufacturing for 5G.

GaN-on-silicon

GaN-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) is a semiconductor manufacturing technology in which gallium nitride is grown on silicon substrates, chiefly for lateral HEMT power and radio-frequency devices in standard CMOS fabs.
