Effect of Buffer Charge Redistribution on RF Losses and Harmonic Distortion in GaN-on-Si Substrates by Pieter Cardinael, Sachin Yadav, Bertrand Parvais, Jean-Pierre Raskin

“…With the help of a simplified TCAD model of the GaN-on-Si stack, we link this behavior to slow charge redistribution in the C-doped buffer continuously modifying the flat-band voltage (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{V}_{\text {FB}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) of the Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) structure. Free carrier transport across the buffer is shown to have the greatest contribution on the large time constants, highlighting the importance of vertical transport paths in GaN-on-Si stacks.…”
