Ralf Lerner, Integration of GaN HEMTs on Silicon CMOS

Integration of GaN high voltage transistors into Silicon CMOS could combine superior electrical parameters of GaN HEMTs and the huge logic functionality of Silicon CMOS. Several approaches for such integration will be discussed

  • Monolithic integration on CMOS
  • Monolithic integration on GaN
  • Heterogeneous integration by micro-transfer-printing
  • Integration by direct wafer bonding

An industrial based comparison of these approaches contains technical but also commercial and reliability related aspects.
