Investigation on Output Capacitance Losses in Superjunction and GaN-on-Si Power Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Halil Kerim Yildirim

Low ON-resistance of advanced superjunction (SJ) and GaN-on-Si transistors is of great importance in power converters, however, the anomalous loss in their output capacitance (C OSS ) severely limits their performance. In this work, we use an energy-orient ...

High-Performance Enhancement-Mode AlGaN/GaN Multi-Channel Power Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Catherine Erine, Halil Kerim Yildirim

AlGaN/GaN devices have shown outstanding potential for power conversion applications. However, despite the recent progress, their performance is still far from what the material can offer in terms of on-resistance and breakdown voltage. To address this cha ...

High-Frequency GaN-on-Si power integrated circuits based on Tri-Anode SBDs

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Georgios Kampitsis, Halil Kerim Yildirim

In this work, we report on the switching performance of AlGaN/GaN lateral Tri-Anode SBDs. The Tri-Anode architecture leads to a more than 50% reduction in the device charge with respect to conventional planar structure, confirmed both by capacitive and rev ...
