[0034] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0035] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed on” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means one or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0038] References to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," or "an embodiment" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in some other embodiments," "in some other embodiments," "in a specific embodiment," and "in a specific application" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0039] Because cascode GaN devices have high electron mobility and small parasitic capacitance, they are expected to achieve very low conduction and switching losses in high-frequency applications. When used in some topological circuits, certain conditions must be met to achieve zero-voltage turn on (ZVS). Namely, the source-drain charge of the GaN device must be less than the sum of the output capacitance of the MOSFET and the gate-source charge of the GaN device. Otherwise, even if ZVS is achieved in the switching waveform, internal losses will still occur during the turn-on process, thus not truly zero-voltage turn on.

[0040] Because the charge on the MOSFET's output capacitance is smaller than the sum of the GaN device's gate-source charge, Qgs, and its source-drain charge, Qds, during the turn-on process of the cascode GaN device, the GaN device's source-drain charge, Qds, and the excess charge on the GaN device will be consumed through the GaN HEMT's two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel, resulting in turn-on losses. Similarly, if the charges are mismatched, during the turn-off process of the cascode GaN device, because the charge on the MOSFET's output capacitance and the GaN device's gate-source charge, Qgs, are relatively small, the excess charge that continues to charge the GaN device's source-drain capacitance will pass through the MOSFET's body diode, resulting in avalanche losses.

[0041] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a cascode GaN device with integrated capacitors.
