Abstract

The role of buffer traps (identified as CN acceptors through current DLTS) in the off-state leakage and dynamic Ron of 650V rated GaN-on-Si power devices is investigated. The dynamic Ron is strongly voltage-dependent, due to the interplay between the dynamic properties of the CN traps and the presence of space-charge limited current components. This results in a complete suppression of dyn Ron degradation under HTRB conditions between 420V and 850V.
