This book demonstrates to readers why Gallium Nitride (Ga N) transistors have a superior performance as compared to the already mature Silicon technology. The new Ga N-based transistors here described enable both high frequency and high efficiency power conversion, leading to smaller and more efficient power systems. Coverage includes i) Ga N substrates and device physics; ii) innovative Ga N -transistors structure (lateral and vertical); iii) reliability and robustness of Ga N-power transistors; iv) impact of parasitic on Ga N based power conversion, v) new power converter architectures and vi) Ga N in switched mode power conversion.
- Provides single-source reference to Gallium Nitride (Ga N)-based technologies, from the material level to circuit level, both for power conversions architectures and switched mode power amplifiers;
- Demonstrates how Ga N is a superior technology for switching devices, enabling both high frequency, high efficiency andlower cost power conversion;
- Enables design of smaller, cheaper and more efficient power supplies.
