商品描述

This book presents the first comprehensive overview of the properties and fabrication methods of GaN-based power transistors, with contributions from the most active research groups in the field. It describes how gallium nitride has emerged as an excellent material for the fabrication of power transistors; thanks to the high energy gap, high breakdown field, and saturation velocity of GaN, these devices can reach breakdown voltages beyond the kV range, and very high switching frequencies, thus being suitable for application in power conversion systems. Based on GaN, switching-mode power converters with efficiency in excess of 99 % have been already demonstrated, thus clearing the way for massive adoption of GaN transistors in the power conversion market. This is expected to have important advantages at both the environmental and economic level, since power conversion losses account for 10 % of global electricity consumption.

The first part of the book describes the properties and advantages of gallium nitride compared to conventional semiconductor materials. The second part of the book describes the techniques used for device fabrication, and the methods for GaN-on-Silicon mass production. Specific attention is paid to the three most advanced device structures: lateral transistors, vertical power devices, and nanowire-based HEMTs. Other relevant topics covered by the book are the strategies for normally-off operation, and the problems related to device reliability. The last chapter reviews the switching characteristics of GaN HEMTs based on a systems level approach.

 

 

This book is a unique reference for people working in the materials, device and power electronics fields; it provides interdisciplinary information on material growth, device fabrication, reliability issues and circuit-level switching investigation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了第一個關於氮化鎵(GaN)基功率晶體管的特性和製造方法的全面概述,並由該領域最活躍的研究團隊貢獻。書中描述了氮化鎵如何成為製造功率晶體管的優秀材料;由於GaN具有高能隙、高擊穿電場和飽和速度,這些裝置可以達到超過千伏(kV)範圍的擊穿電壓,以及非常高的開關頻率,因此適合應用於功率轉換系統。基於GaN的開關模式功率轉換器已經展示出超過99%的效率,從而為GaN晶體管在功率轉換市場的大規模採用鋪平了道路。這預計在環境和經濟層面上都將帶來重要的優勢,因為功率轉換損耗佔全球電力消耗的10%。

書的第一部分描述了氮化鎵相較於傳統半導體材料的特性和優勢。第二部分則介紹了裝置製造所使用的技術,以及GaN-on-Silicon的量產方法。特別關注三種最先進的裝置結構:橫向晶體管、垂直功率裝置和基於納米線的HEMT(高電子遷移率晶體管)。書中還涵蓋了其他相關主題,如正常關閉操作的策略以及與裝置可靠性相關的問題。最後一章則從系統層面回顧了GaN HEMT的開關特性。

這本書是材料、裝置和功率電子領域工作者的獨特參考資料;它提供了有關材料生長、裝置製造、可靠性問題和電路級開關研究的跨學科資訊。
