AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the difficulty of selective epitaxy technology, the current p-type gate is mainly obtained by in-situ growth of p-GaN / AlGaN / GaN, and then completely etching the p-GaN in the outer area of ​​the gate, so the device requires high etching precision. And it is impossible to avoid damage to the device
At the same time, the concentration of p-type GaN doping (usually acceptor Mg) is low, and the acceptor activation rate is not high, so the 2DEG under the gate cannot be fully depleted, and it is difficult to achieve a high threshold voltage
In addition, the p-type gate also has a series of problems such as weak gate control ability and large gate leakage, which restricts the further popularization and application of power devices.
