  • Publication number: 20230420537
    Abstract: A field effect transistor includes a channel layer, a source, a drain, a gate structure, and a gate metal layer; and the gate structure includes a P-type gallium nitride layer and an N-type gallium nitride layer that are disposed in a stacking manner, so that a gate metal/pGaN Schottky diode is replaced with an nGaN/pGaN reverse bias diode, to improve a gate voltage-withstand capability of the field effect transistor, thereby improving a breakdown capability of the field effect transistor. A doping density of the P-type gallium nitride layer is between 1×1018 cm?3 and 1×1019 cm?3, so that a charge storage effect during operation of a device can be reduced, carriers at the pGaN layer can be exhausted as much as possible, and redundant-charge storage is avoided, thereby improving operating threshold voltage stability of the device.

  • Patent number: 10404251
    Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards a self-bootstrap integrated gate driver circuit with high driving speed, enhanced driving capability and rail-to-rail output. A capacitor and diode are used with a first inverter coupled to a control signal input terminal, a second inverter coupled to the first inverter, a push-pull circuit comprising a pull-up transistor and a pull-down transistor and a power device comprising a power device transistor with a gate. Control signal input at one state controls the first inverter to a first output state, turns on the pull-down transistor to discharge the gate of the power device transistor, turns off the power device and charges the capacitor through the diode. The control signal input in another state controls the first inverter to a second output state, turns off the pull-down transistor and turns on the pull-up transistor via the capacitor to turn on the power device.
