Abstract

We demonstrated electrical characteristics of operational amplifier (OPAMP) circuits fabricated by GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMTs operating over 100 oC. GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, with the extremely low source resistance were fabricated by multiple ion implantation, precisely controlled ion-implanted (I/I) resistors and Schottky barrier diodes were integrated on the silicon substrate. The GaN cap layer on the AlGaN was grown to decrease the gate leakage current and current collapse for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.
