HIGH-VOLTAGE BIDIRECTIONAL FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR
WARF: P230010US01

Inventors: Chirag Gupta, Shubhra Pasayat


The Invention

UW-Madison researchers have designed a bidirectional switch based on an AlGaN/GaN structure with BaTiO3 to achieve the ideal target of ~1-1.1x resistance. The design is scalable from 100 V - 10 kV. The new structure allows for elimination of field plates, which enables closer spacing of the gate sand and therefore the ability to reach the 1:1 optimized V ratio. Elimination of these field plates will also reduce manufacturing costs as the processing is simpler.
