In recent years, space development has begun to expand not only as a national project but also as an industry. One of the key technologies for the evolution of spacecraft such as satellites and rockets is semiconductors. Domestic and foreign space agencies and companies are vigorously conducting research and development on how to realize semiconductor devices that can operate in the harsh space environment. In this lecture, the characteristics of semiconductor device technology for space applications, domestic and international R&D trends, and the direction of future technology needs will be discussed, including an introduction of the latest topics.
"Development of millimeter-wave devices and entire systems for highly efficient, long-distance wireless power transmission for both space and terrestrial applications" part of the JAXA Space Exploration Innovation Hub's 10th call for research proposals (RFP-10) will be introduced. As part of the semiconductor device development, we aim to develop high-quality, highly reliable gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices with high voltage, low loss, and high frequency operation, by fabricating them on GaN substrates instead of the widely used SiC or Si substrates.
