Seamless On-Wafer Integration of Si(100) MOSFETs and GaN HEMTs

The first on-wafer integration of Si(100) MOSFETs and AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is demonstrated. To enable a fully Si-compatible process, we fabricated a novel Si(100)-GaN-Si(100) virtual substrate through a wafer bonding and etch-back technique. The high thermal stability...

description The first on-wafer integration of Si(100) MOSFETs and AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is demonstrated. To enable a fully Si-compatible process, we fabricated a novel Si(100)-GaN-Si(100) virtual substrate through a wafer bonding and etch-back technique. The high thermal stability of nitride semiconductors allowed the fabrication of Si MOSFETs on this substrate without degrading the performance of the GaN epilayers. After the Si devices were fabricated, the nitride epilayer is exposed, and the nitride transistors are processed. By using this technology, GaN and Si devices separated by less than 5 mum from each other have been fabricated, which is suitable for building future heterogeneous integrated circuits.
