Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor devices based on GaN for power or radio frequency (RF) applications have been on the market for several years. Devices with extraordinary figures of merit can be produced by exploiting the intriguing properties of GaN and related compound semiconductors (AlN, AlGaN). High-voltage ratings in the OFF-state can be combined with low specific ON-resistance, fast switching speeds, and high-temperature operation. Yet the full potential of GaN-based devices is yet to be unleashed. The challenges are firstly in the material quality, especially for devices made on silicon substrates by epitaxial growth techniques. Secondly, stable and robust passivation schemes have to be further optimized and better understood to deal with instability and reliability issues. Thirdly, the packaging of these devices is becoming ever more important to deal with thermal aspects. GaN technology is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new substrate materials, modern dielectric passivation stacks, and emerging device concepts. This Special Issue will publish research papers and review articles that focus on recent advancements in GaN technology and devices, insights into the physics of GaN, related compound materials, and passivation dielectrics, as well as application-oriented research.
