  • Abstract
    In this paper, we discuss the static (DC) and dynamic (switching) characteristics of the GaN-on-Si device, focusing on the impact of bias conditions applied on the Si substrate. It was found that state-of-the-art dynamic on-resistance characteristics of the GaN-on-Si switch can be achieved by properly terminating the Si substrate potential.
