Talk Title: Investigation and Comparison of Deep Acceptors in β-Ga2O3 using Defect Spectroscopies

Beta phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) is a strong contender for next-generation high voltage and RF device applications. A key component of such devices is a semi-insulating, highly resistive buffer layer or substrate. To date, iron (Fe) has been the preferred acceptor impurity to achieve semi-insulating β-Ga2O3. Iron produces an energy level at EC-0.8 eV, which has been substantiated by theoretical and experimental studies and enables highly resistive material. However, it has also been shown that residual Fe impurities can result in device switching instabilities since the Fermi level can modulate the occupancy of the Fe trap state during standard biasing conditions. While progress to mitigate the impact of residual Fe impurities has occurred, there is also interest in exploring acceptors with much deeper energy levels to avoid device instabilities. Magnesium (Mg) and nitrogen (N) have emerged as candidates based on their predicted energy levels of EC-3.3 eV and EC-2.8 eV, respectively (H. Peelaers, et al., APL Mater. 7, 022519, 2019). This presentation will compare each acceptor, with a primary focus on N, using deep level optical spectroscopy (DLOS) and thermally based deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS).
Here, N acceptors were introduced into HVPE-grown β-Ga2O3 by ion implantation. A uniform N-implantation profile was used targeting multiple doses in different samples, followed by an activation anneal. DLTS and DLOS measurements were applied before and after annealing. After implantation, multiple trap states appeared, most of which were removed by annealing, leaving a single, new state at EC-2.9 eV, with a Frank-Condon energy of 1.4 eV. The concentration of this state monotonically tracked with nitrogen concentration from SIMS. This energy level closely matches predicted values for an acceptor-like defect due to nitrogen atoms occupying the oxygen III sites, determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations (H. Peelaers, et al., APL Mater. 7, 022519, 2019; Y.K. Frodason, et al. J. Appl. Phys. 127, 075701, 2020), The much deeper energy compared with Fe could imply a significantly lower operational instability than the shallower Fe acceptor at EC-0.8 eV. However, we found that the below midgap position of the NO(III) level, coupled with its small optical cross-section, complicates the trap concentration analysis by DLOS, which is important for understanding how to characterize very deep states in β-Ga2O3. Simultaneous hole emission to the valence band and electron emission to the conduction band was seen. Similar challenges might be present for Mg doping as well. The impact of this behavior on DLOS analysis is discussed, and a method to resolve this complication will be presented, which is needed to guide further optimization of this critical step in gallium oxide device development.

Talk Title: Enabling Technologies for Low-Cost mmWave SATCOM Terminals

Abstract: mmWave 5G has received a lot of attention due to its ability to deliver extremely high data rates to the user, while also posing challenges to the designer related to the need for large-scale arrays, high-power and high-efficiency power amplifiers, and advanced mmWave packaging. However, over the past year or two, there has been a significant rise in the interest in mmWave SATCOM, driven by the lowering of the barrier to launch satellites into orbit. SATCOM ground terminals, however, pose challenges that are akin to those posed by 5G on steroids – the arrays are 10x larger in size, amplifier efficiency is even more important, <2dB LNA noise figure is required, and electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal packaging challenges are even more severe. This presentation will touch upon various enabling technologies for mmWave SATCOM ground terminals – RF-SOI technologies, high-power high-efficiency mmWave PA design, extremely-low-NF LNA design, and scalable multi-beamforming.

Talk Title: Terahertz Silicon Topological Photonics for 6G communications

Abstract: Global digitalization and the recent rise of artificial intelligence-based data-driven applications have directed their vectors towards terabits per second (Tbps) communication links. The fast-evolving 5G communication network cannot fulfill this demand due to several technological challenges, including bandwidth scarcity, which has stimulated innovative technologies with a vision of 6G communication. Terahertz (THz) technologies have been identified as a critical candidate for the emerging 6G communication with the potential to provide ubiquitous connectivity and remove the barrier between the physical, digital, and biological worlds. Nonetheless, the existing THz photonic on-chip communication devices suffer from backscattering, bending loss, limited data speed, and lack of active tunability. Here, I will describe a new class of on-chip THz photonic topological devices consisting of low-loss, broadband single channel 160 Gbit/s communication link and critically coupled high-Q (Q ~ 106) cavities built on Silicon Valley-Hall Photonic Crystal. Silicon topological photonics will pave the path for augmentation of CMOS-compatible hybrid electronic-photonic driven terahertz technologies, vital for accelerating the development of 6G communications that would empower societies with real-time terabits per second wireless connectivity for network sensing, holographic communication, cognitive internet of everything, and massive digital cloning of the physical and the biological world.

Talk Title: Characterisation and Modelling of the Switching transitions of WBG Devices

Abstract: Silicon Carbide MOSFETs (SiC MOSFETs) fall into the class of wide band gap (WBG) power devices. These devices are commercially available in the voltage range of 600-3300V and compete with the state-of-the-art Si-insulated gate bipolar junction transistors (IGBTs). Superior material properties of SiC MOSFET lead to smaller die sizes. This results in faster switching transients and lower switching loss. However, it excites device and circuit parasitic that may lead to prolonged oscillation, high device stress, spurious turn-on and EMI-related issues. So, the benefit of using SiC MOSFET as a power device comes with numerous design challenges resulting in slow commercial adaptation. It is predicted that the overall market share of WBG devices (SiC and GaN together) will be roughly 10% of the total market for power semiconductors by 2025. To overcome the design challenges and fully utilise the benefits of fast-switching SiC MOSFETs, a better understanding of switching dynamics is essential. However, the switching dynamics of SiC MOSFET are different compared to its Si counterpart due to the highly non-linear device characteristics and participation of circuit parasitic in the process. In this talk, we will discuss our recent work on developing an analytical model of the switching dynamics for hard and soft transitions of SiC MOSFET by simplifying the complex non-linear dynamics predicted by the behavioural model. The developed model, given the device-related parameters extracted from the data sheet, estimated or measured circuit parasitic, can predict lost switching energy, rate of change of device voltage etc., necessary for a successful power converter design through computation with sufficient accuracy.

Talk Title: Waferscale Computing

Abstract: Fueled by the tremendous growth of new applications in the domain of big-data computing, deep learning, and scientific computing, the demand for increasing system performance is far outpacing the capability of conventional methods for performance scaling. Traditionally, performance and energy scaling has relied on transistor and silicon scaling. However, developing chips, often very large ones in the advanced technology nodes, is becoming very challenging and costly. Moreover, system performance is often limited by inter-die connections. Today, dies with different functionality are packaged and integrated using PCBs. Unlike silicon features, package and PCB features have barely scaled (about 4-5x) over the past few decades. This severely limits performance and efficiency of processor systems. Traditional scale-out system building, and integration methodologies are failing to deliver the performance today’s applications (such as artificial intelligence, big-data processing etc.) demand. As a consequence, future performance, power, and cost improvements cannot come from transistor technology alone. Then, how do we enable “System scaling”?

To target scale-out systems, we propose chiplet-based waferscale processors to dramatically reduce inter-die communication overheads. To that end, we developed the Si-IF technology where bare dies can be tightly integrated on a waferscale interconnect substrate to build scale-out processors up to a size of an entire wafer. However, building such a large consolidated waferscale system has its own challenges. For the first time, we explored the design space of waferscale power-delivery networks, cooling and trade-offs of yield and inter-GPM network topologies, etc. I will discuss some of these challenges and solutions that we developed to architect a large shared memory waferscale prototype system. Next, I will make a case for waferscale GPU and waferscale graph acceleration, where we leverage the massive bisection bandwidth and sub-1ns inter-die latencies to build high-performance computing systems. Our work shows that massive gains in excess of 5-10x can be achieved in terms of both performance gains as well as system energy using waferscale integration.

Talk Title: Indigenous GaN MMIC Technology

Abstract: Future trends for next generation strategic systems require multifunctionality and modularity like combining radar, communications, and electronic warfare in one system. This higher level of functional integration improves system performance through heightened awareness, improved responsiveness, and mission execution. The use of gallium nitride (GaN) MMIC as key component enables higher performance of systems meeting the requirements in small size with high power and hence GaN MMIC are emerging as an alternative or replacement for laterally diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) components. In most of next generation systems GaN MMIC technology is being considered because of high power density, high efficiency, wide bandwidth, and exceptionally long life. GaN on SiC has superior properties like higher breakdown voltage; higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. Hence GaN HEMTs also offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si; GaAs; and GaN on Si transistors. As shorter gate length GaAs and GaN transistors become available, coupled with improved circuit design techniques, new devices are becoming available that can perform comfortably to millimeter wave frequencies, opening new applications that were hard to contemplate a decade ago. This paper will briefly describe the indigenous GaN semiconductor technology that is enabling these developments to achieve optimum performance of devices, circuits and subsystems based on this technology.

Talk Title: Engineered Carbon Materials for Sodium Ion Hybrid Capacitors

Abstract: Carbon materials, including carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, hard carbon, etc., have received greater attention due to their diversity, abundance, and favourable properties. The properties of carbon materials are easily tunable by doping with other elements or making composites with other materials.1 The unique chemical and structural features allow the possibility of engineering these materials, thus offering them unlimited advanced applications in energy storage and conversion.2 Here, efficient strategies to synthesise porous and hard carbon materials with significantly improved surface area and porosity features are explored for their applications in hybrid ion capacitors (HICs).3 For instance, engineered carbon samples with ‘open’ and ‘closed’ pores are synthesised to explore the sodium charge storage mechanism in hard carbon anodes. In-depth studies using different physicochemical techniques revealed strong evidence for adsorption/insertion-pore filling mechanism.4 The talk will also highlight our recent efforts on mass balancing of hybrid ion capacitor electrodes that could be employed as a design tool to guide the selection of optimized HIC devices for the intended applications.5

Talk Title: Role of exchange-correlation functionals in migration barrier predictions

Abstract: A critical factor that influences the rate performance of batteries is the diffusion of the electroactive ions in the active materials, i.e., solid electrodes and/or electrolytes, which in turn is largely influenced by the ionic migration barriers (Em) within host frameworks. Determining Em precisely using experimental techniques, such as electrochemical impedance, variable temperature nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. is not a trivial task. Computationally, evaluating Em is often done via density functional theory (DFT)-based nudged elastic band (NEB) calculations or ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Typically, DFT-NEB can yield a direct estimate of Em in a given material, while AIMD relies on statistical sampling of migration events (which becomes more difficult with increasing Em values). Hence, DFT-NEB is the preferred computational choice to determine Em. However, the accuracy of DFT-NEB calculations in estimating Em is dependent on the choice of exchange-correlation (XC) functionals, and the errors associated with using different XC frameworks has not been accurately quantified yet. Hence, in the first part of my talk, I will focus on assessing the accuracy of different XC frameworks (versus experiments) in estimating Em in a wide variety of electrode and solid electrolyte materials. Importantly, we find that the strongly constrained and appropriately normed functional yields better accuracy of Em on average, albeit with significant convergence difficulties and notable exceptions of high inaccuracy, while the generalised gradient approximation provides robust qualitative trends in its Em predictions. I will also discuss about the role of uniform background charge and the climbing image approximation in Em predictions.

Talk Title: Advances in Silicon Power Semiconductor Devices

Abstract: Silicon power MOSFETs have made tremendous advancements in the past decade. The key concept that has led to this is that of charge balance. In conventional power MOSFET device the maximum doping level and the thickness of the drift region is limited by blocking voltage constraints and a triangular electric field results in its sub-optimal utilization.
The concept of charge balance involves adding an opposite polarity of charge in the drift region compared to default doping to modify the shape of electric field from triangular to trapezoidal for better utilization of drift region for voltage blocking, and allow significantly higher doping concentration for lower conduction losses. For low voltages (below 400V) the popular device structure to achieve this is the Split Gate Transistor (SGT). This device utilizes trench MOS charge balance with a shield electrode under the gate. In addition to significantly improving the On Resistance per unit area (~3x for 100V blocking), the shield electrode also significantly reduced the gate to drain miller capacitance (Crss) and Crss/Ciss ratio to allow for high frequency switching.
For high voltages above 400V, the depth of trench and thickness of liner oxide make SGT device impractical to fabricate. As a result, the Super-Junction transistor has emerged as the most successful MOSFET for high voltages. This device utilizes alternating P and N columns in the drift region thereby creating a charge balance. Methods such as multi epi, deep trench and fill have been demonstrated and are commercially successful for making superjunction transistors. These can achieve an On-Resistance reduction of up to 8x compared to planar DMOS transistor. However, presence of alternating P and N columns also results in peculiar Capacitance curves, particularly the Crss which drops sharply at low drain biases and then increases at higher drain biases. It also exhibits snappy diode reverse recovery.
Charge balanced structure is also finding use in bipolar devices such as IGBT and Fast recovery diodes. In these devices, charge balance is used for various performance enhancements such as improving turn-off losses, injection enhancement, and controlling injection efficiency for faster switching.
The goal of this seminar is to understand the device physics and electrical characteristics of charge balanced devices in unipolar and bipolar power devices. This seminar is intended for intermediate level audience.
