Investigation of Dynamic RON in p-GaN Gate HEMTs under Steady-State Soft-Switching: Roles of OFF-State Trapping and Hole Injections

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

Dynamic ON-resistance (RON) in GaN HEMTs is a critical issue for power electronics efficiency. This paper proposes a novel method to measure dynamic (RON) under long-term OFF-state drain-stress and steady-state soft-switching, comparing Schottky-type (GaN- ...

p-NiO/LiNiO-GaN heterojunctions: a potential alternative to p-GaN for advanced devices

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mounir Driss Mensi, Zheng Hao, Alessandro Floriduz

In this work, we introduce a p-NiO/LiNiO stack grown via low-temperature deposition processes, offering an effective alternative for creating localized p-type regions in GaN devices. This stack combines a high hole concentration p-NiO film ([h] = 2 × 1019 ...

Soft-Switching CO Hysteresis Losses in GaN HEMTs: A Resonant-Sawyer-Tower Measurement Method

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

The inherent dissipated energy losses (Ediss) during the charging-discharging cycle of output capacitance (CO) in gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) limit their efficiency in soft-switching applications. Accurate characterizatio ...

Polarization-enhanced GaN Schottky barrier diodes: Ultra-thin InGaN for high breakdown voltage and low Ron

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Zheng Hao, Alessandro Floriduz

In this work, we present a concept that leverages the strong piezoelectric polarization field in InGaN, which counteracts the external electric field at reverse bias. We show that despite the smaller InGaN band-gap and lower critical electric field, its st ...

Direct high-temperature growth of GaN on Si using trimethylaluminum preflow enabling vertically-conducting heterostructures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Alessandro Floriduz

In this work, we demonstrate that GaN can be directly grown at high temperature on Si(111) substrates by metalorganic CVD without using any intentional AlN buffer, by simply employing a trimethylaluminum (TMAl) preflow. We found that n-GaN layers directly ...

Chip-Scale Watt-Range Terahertz Generation Based on Fast Transition in Nanoplasma Switches

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mohammad Rezaei

Despite recent advancements in photonics and electronics, there remains a lack of efficient, compact, high-power sources in the terahertz spectrum (0.3-10 THz). Recent research has revealed that nanoplasma (NP) switches can exhibit extremely fast transitio ...
