Gallium Nitride and Wide Band-Gap Device Research

cnnp

GaN GRAND Research

Post silicon, Gallium Nitride (GaN) has emerged as the WONDER material that has the potential to disruptively change the future of semiconductor devices. Bolstered by its unique material and device properties, it is finding extensive applications both in power and RF domains; e.g. 5G, Power switches,etc. This technology is expanding to capture the market of electric vehicles, besides being pushed towards application in extreme environments (automobiles, low earth orbit satellites, high temperature and radiation hard application) and even for quantum computing.

At CNNP, GRAND group works towards development of indigenous GaN technologies and systems through detailed physical analysis, to meet the nations need for a sustainable and prosperous future.

Key Research Areas

1. GaN Technology Development:

  • Indigenous development of GaN device technologies for power and RF applications
  • Study of gate leakage mechanisms in HEMTs and MIS HEMTs
  • Enhancement-mode device using charge engineering in Gate dielectric
  • Indigenous technology development of Fin-MISHEMT with positive Vth of 0.63V

2. Passives Technology development

  • Development of GaN-based Passives for enabling Monolithic Integration
  • Design of Spiral Inductors and capacitors to meet the required specifications for GaN based systems, such as power amplifier
  • Fabrication and Characterization of Tapered Spiral Inductors
  • Creation of library for GaN-based inductors ranging from 0.5 – 2 nH

3. Device Characterizations, Reliability Analysis and Model Development

  • Device characterizations and Reliability Analysis of developed GaN-based devices for better reliability-aware designs
  • Compact model for HEMTs developed and validated with available experimental data, both in-house and industrial
  • Salient features of developed Model
    • Unified and continuous expression for 2-DEG charge versus Gate Voltage
    • Accurately predicts DC and AC characteristics
    • Includes secondary effects in the core model
    • Few number of parameters
    • Simple parameter extraction strategy
