India develops GaN chip 300 times faster than silicon

Original: India just built a chip that runs 300 times faster than the silicon in most electronics. It's smaller than a fingernail.

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, through its Solid State Physics Laboratory, has indigenously developed Gallium Nitride semiconductor chips smaller than a fingernail. The chips reportedly run around 300 times faster than the silicon used in most consumer electronics. They are intended for next-generation radar and electronic warfare systems, marking a significant step in India's push for self-reliance in advanced defence technology.

Why now: News of an indigenous breakthrough in advanced defence semiconductor technology has drawn attention to India's growing capabilities.
