Description
Summary:The integration of III-V compound semiconductors and silicon (100) CMOS technologies has been a long pursued goal. A robust low-cost heterogeneous integration technology would make the outstanding analog and mixed-signal performance of compound semiconductor electronics available on an as-needed basis to realize key functions on VLSI chips that are difficult to implement in Si technology. In this paper, we demonstrate the first on-wafer integration of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with Si(100) MOSFETs.
