Inhalt:
This paper is devoted to the recent advances of compact high-density Gallium-Nitride (GaN)-based power converters and related technologies. GaN-based diodes, and both lateral and new vertical devices are discussed. Vertical devices are recently becoming available while the reliability of lateral devices is improving, and test methods and degradation mechanisms are becoming better understood. Aspects of compact monolithic and heterogenous integration are being discussed.
