Summary: | GaN-based Gate Injection Transistors (GITs) with p-type gate over AlGaN/GaN heterojunction serve normally-off operations with low on-state resistances owing to the conductivity modulation by injection of holes. Established basic technologies on the GIT have shown promising features for switching applications. Further improvement of the performances would extend the applications and lead to the widespread use. In this paper, recent technologies on the GITs to improve the performances and extract the full potential are described. These include extension of the wafer diameter of Si up to 8 inch, InAlGaN quaternary alloy to reduce the series resistances, shortening the gate length to improve the device performances, integration of the gate driver and flip-chip assembly for faster switching. |
