In this paper, we studied how the switching characteristics of a power conversion system could be improved using gallium nitride (GaN) devices. To this end, a circuit system applying GaN field effect transistors (FETs) was modeled to derive a mathematical differential equation, and the transfer function of the system was obtained through the modeled equation to propose the analysis model. The frequency response of the system where the GaN FET device was applied was analyzed through the proposed modeling circuit, and the method to compensate for characteristics of the system was proposed. The applied method and the proposed model were validated through the comparative analysis on the frequency responses before and after the frequency response. This study’s results were proposed that the problem occurring in systems with GaN FETs could be solved through this theoretical and systematic method.

The paper deals with the problem of modelling and analyzing the dynamic properties of a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) made of silicon carbide. An examination of the usefulness of the built-in JFET Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) model was performed. A modified model of silicon carbide JFET was proposed to increase modelling accuracy. An evaluation of the accuracy of the modified model was performed by comparison of the measured and calculated capacitance–voltage characteristics as well as the switching characteristics of JFETs.

In this study, we examine the electrical characteristics of p+–n+–i–n+ silicon-nanowire field-effect transistors with partially gated channels. The silicon-nanowire field-effect transistors operate with barrier height modulation through positive feedback loops of charge carriers triggered by impact ionization. Our field-effect transistors exhibit outstanding switching characteristics, with an on current of ˜10−4 A, an on/off current ratio of ˜106, and a point subthreshold swing of ˜23 mV/dec. Moreover, the devices inhibit ambipolar characteristics because of the use of the partially gated structure and feature the p-channel operation mode.

Abstract Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide band gap semi-conductor with superior electron mobility to silicon carbide. These properties allow for the design of high temperature capable devices with excellent on resistance and breakdown voltage for their size. However, bulk GaN is difficult to fabricate and doping for field effect transistor (FET) control has been elusive, so vertical GaN devices are not commonplace. This paper measures the characteristics of vertical GaN FETs in the development stage and discusses packaging them for fabrication feedback and for future high temperature aplications.
