Abstract

A novel GaN power IC platform on engineered bulk Si (EBUS) substrate is demonstrated for monolithic integration of 200-V high-side and low-side p-GaN HEMTs of a half-bridge circuit. The engineered substrate features a P+-N-doping profile realized by P-Type implantation into an N-Type (111) Si wafer. The P+ Si layer is then split into P+ islands using deep trenches and are effectively isolated through back-To-back PN junctions. The P+ island provides a local electrical substrate for the overlaying GaN HEMT, while all GaN HEMTs share the same bulk Si wafer; such configuration enables monolithic GaN power integration with eliminated crosstalk associated with conventional bulk Si that serves as a common electrical substrate.
