摘要
In this paper, we present a monolithic integration of a self-protected AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator field-effect transistor (MISFET). An integrated field-controlled diode on the drain side of the AlGaN/GaN MISFET features a self- protected function for a reverse bias. This diode takes advantage of the recessed-barrier enhancement-mode technique to realize an ultra-low voltage drop and a low turn-ON voltage. In the smart monolithic integration, this integrated diode can block a reverse bias (〉 70 V/μm) and suppress the leakage current (〈 5 × 10-11 A/mm). Compared with conventional monolithic integration, the numerical results show that the MISET integrated with a field-controlled diode leads to a good performance for smart power integration. And the power loss is lower than 50% in conduction without forward current degeneration.
