Abstract

Recent advances in developing process modules for GaN power devices are reviewed. These processes include damage removal in dry etched n- and p-GaN, implant doping and isolation, novel gate dielectrics, improved Schottky and ohmic contacts and deep via etching of SiC for hybrid GaN/SiC structures.
