This book focuses on defects in GaN based on the most up-to-date intrinsic material properties, and addresses deep levels and their analytical methods within the wide bandgap of GaN. It demonstrates nanoscale structures of extended defects in GaN using atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy. The identifi cations of their deep levels and extended defect structures are presented by comparing with reported fi rst-principles calculations. It reviews emerging technologies for defect characterizations using atom probe tomography, synchrotron x-ray diffraction topography in wafer scale, and multiphoton-excitation photoluminescence, which allows for the multidirectional characterization of structural defects.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices are an emerging technology that have only recently become available commercially. This new technology enables the design of converters at higher frequencies and efficiencies than those achievable with conventional Si devices. This thesis reviews the characteristics and commercial status of both vertical and lateral GaN power devices from the user perspective, providing the background necessary to understand the significance of these recent developments. Additionally, the challenges encountered in GaN-based converter design are considered, such as the consequences of faster switching on gate driver design and board layout. Other issues include the unique reverse conduction behavior, dynamic on-resistance, breakdown mechanisms, thermal design, device availability, and reliability qualification. Static and dynamic characterization was then performed across the full current, voltage, and temperature range of this device to enable effective GaN-based converter design. Static testing was performed with a curve tracer and precision impedance analyzer. A double pulse test setup was constructed and used to measure switching loss and time at the fastest achievable switching speed, and the subsequent overvoltages due to the fast switching were characterized. The results were also analyzed to characterize the effects of cross-talk in the active and synchronous devices of a phase-leg topology with enhancement-mode GaN HFETs. Based on these results and analysis, an accurate loss model was developed for the device under test. Based on analysis of these characterization results, a simplified model was developed to describe the overall switching behavior and some unique features of the device. The consequences of the Miller effect during the turn-on transient were studied to show that no Miller plateau occurs, but rather a decreased gate voltage slope, followed by a sharp drop. The significance of this distinction is derived and explained. GaN performance at elevated temperature was also studied, because turn-on time increases significantly with temperature, and turn-on losses increase as a result. Based on this relationship, a temperature-dependent turn-on model and a linear scaling factor was proposed for estimating turn-on loss in e-mode GaN HFETs.

This book presents the first comprehensive overview of the properties and fabrication methods of GaN-based power transistors, with contributions from the most active research groups in the field. It describes how gallium nitride has emerged as an excellent material for the fabrication of power transistors; thanks to the high energy gap, high breakdown field, and saturation velocity of GaN, these devices can reach breakdown voltages beyond the kV range, and very high switching frequencies, thus being suitable for application in power conversion systems. Based on GaN, switching-mode power converters with efficiency in excess of 99 % have been already demonstrated, thus clearing the way for massive adoption of GaN transistors in the power conversion market. This is expected to have important advantages at both the environmental and economic level, since power conversion losses account for 10 % of global electricity consumption. The first part of the book describes the properties and advantages of gallium nitride compared to conventional semiconductor materials. The second part of the book describes the techniques used for device fabrication, and the methods for GaN-on-Silicon mass production. Specific attention is paid to the three most advanced device structures: lateral transistors, vertical power devices, and nanowire-based HEMTs. Other relevant topics covered by the book are the strategies for normally-off operation, and the problems related to device reliability. The last chapter reviews the switching characteristics of GaN HEMTs based on a systems level approach. This book is a unique reference for people working in the materials, device and power electronics fields; it provides interdisciplinary information on material growth, device fabrication, reliability issues and circuit-level switching investigation.

Silicon power electronics has shown its limits due to its incapacity to sustain high voltage, high temperature and high frequency applications. Therefore, the need to resort to materials with larger band gap and solve silicon (Si) technological issues for high voltage operations has been getting more and more intense. Wide band gap materials such as Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN), and Diamond are very promising for power electronics because of their interesting physical properties such like high carrier mobility, high critical electric field and good thermal conductivity than Si that enable them to perform at high voltage and temperature domains. Semiconductors manufacturing companies indeed, consider them as potentials power or current converters, inverters and rectifers for improving home and industrial energy distribution and consumption in a better way. However, the road to get them into a larger mass production technology is still long because recent researches have shown that their performance is pinned by some physical phenomena such as structural defects appearance, strain and stress effects, doping and dopant control and effectivess and so on. Thus, ruling out these problems by a deep understanding of the physical mechanisms behind them is a key option in optimizing their performance. In this thesis, we confronted the physical and electrical properties of GaN material and devices through multiphysics and electrical characterizations approach such as micro Raman, cathodoluminescence and classical current-voltage I (V) measurements. The objective is to get an insight into the physical performance of these power electronic materials (SiC, GaN), especially of GaN based power devices due to their higher carrier mobility compared to SiC and their growing technology maturity for mass production and distribution; and suggest if possible, ways of optimizing their operating abilities at a micro level. The coupling of these characterization methods allow us to have a deep view of the physical mechanisms that support the high voltage or temperature operation of these GaN based materials and as well as help us to grab the discrepancy existing between physical theoretical parameters established through finite elements simulations and true experimental value.

Efficient power conversion is essential to face the continuously increasing energy consumption of our society. GaN based vertical power field effect transistors provide excellent performance figures for power-conversion switches, due to their capability of handling high voltages and current densities with very low area consumption. This work focuses on a vertical trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) with conceptional advantages in a device fabrication preceded GaN epitaxy and enhancement mode characteristics. The functional layer stack comprises from the bottom an n+/n--drift/p-body/n+-source GaN layer sequence. Special attention is paid to the Mg doping of the p-GaN body layer, which is a complex topic by itself. Hydrogen passivation of magnesium plays an essential role, since only the active (hydrogen-free) Mg concentration determines the threshold voltage of the MOSFET and the blocking capability of the body diode. Fabrication specific challenges of the concept are related to the complex integration, formation of ohmic contacts to the functional layers, the specific implementation and processing scheme of the gate trench module and the lateral edge termination. The maximum electric field, which was achieved in the pn- junction of the body diode of the MOSFET is estimated to be around 2.1 MV/cm. From double-sweep transfer measurements with relatively small hysteresis, steep subthreshold slope and a threshold voltage of 3 - 4 V a reasonably good Al2O3/GaN interface quality is indicated. In the conductive state a channel mobility of around 80 - 100 cm2/Vs is estimated. This value is comparable to device with additional overgrowth of the channel. Further enhancement of the OFF-state and ON-state characteristics is expected for optimization of the device termination and the high-k/GaN interface of the vertical trench gate, respectively. From the obtained results and dependencies key figures of an area efficient and competitive device design with thick drift layer is extrapolated. Finally, an outlook is given and advancement possibilities as well as technological limits are discussed.
