Abstract
This article presents a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) platform based on the p-GaN gated HEMT technology with a hydrogen plasma treatment (H-treated) process. A 48 V DC-DC power conversion at a switching frequency of 1 MHz is realized. The peripheral enhancement/depletion (E/D-) mode devices formed circuit components, and monolithically integrated with the power device. This is the first H-treated p-GaN platform for the monolithic GaN mixed-signal power IC, the D-mode device will employ the H-treated p-GaN layer as the gate dielectric, with no additional insulator layer. The corresponding ASM-HEMT models have been calibrated for the computer-aided circuit design. Excellent agreement between simulation and static/dynamic experimental results have also been verified with inverters and comparators.
