GaN Schottky diodes offer the same performance benefits as SiC-based devices at a significantly lower cost. A 600 V GaN-based Schottky diode was substituted in a power conversion circuit to reduce its size and complexity. The resulting circuit had a higher efficiency and lower operating temperature than a Si-based configuration
