在高功率切換電路中, 在每次電晶體1 1從〇FF
例如在第1圖的升壓轉換器, 切換至ON或從ON切換至qfF 料導致切換損失。切換損失包含:RC充電損失和交越 損失二者。如同顯示於第2圖中的電晶體源極·沒極電流 對時間和源極-汲極電壓對時間的代表示圖所觀察到 者,在該電晶體從ON切換到〇FF的時間_期間當 流經該電晶體的電《16減少時,橫跨於該電晶體的電壓 17、曰加(反之,虽在電晶體從〇FF切換至on的時間期 間流經該電晶體的電流增加時,橫跨於該電晶體的電壓 減少)。在切換期間的瞬時交越功率損失係由經過該電晶 體的電流和橫跨於該電晶體的電壓之乘積給定及在切 換期間總能量才員失係由該τ力率損失對整個十刀料間的時 間積分決定。降低該電晶體切換時間(例如增加切 換速度)可減少在切換期間的總交越能量損失,及可藉 此減少功率損失和增加電路的效率。因此,其有益於在 電路操作期間以較高的切換速度切換該電晶體因為此 可增加電路的效率。 在電路操作期間一切換電晶體可切換的最大速度主要 係由電晶體的物理特性(例如在電晶體中的通道電荷密 度、通道電荷遷移率、和通道電荷飽和速度、和任何本 質或寄生電容或電阻)所限制。以超過設計電晶體的最 大值或額定之切換速度的電晶體之操作會導致可靠度問 201143017 題及/或電磁干擾(EMI )。目前使用於傳統的功率切換電 路(例如升屋轉換器)的切換電晶體,如基於矽(Si_based) 的CoolMOS電晶體,典型地額定至以5〇 V〇ltS/nanosecond的最大操切換速度來操作。m氮化物 (III-N)電晶體,例如ΙΠ_Ν HEMT或HFET,典型地具 有相較於經設計以操作在類似的電壓和電流的基於矽的 電as體之較佳的本質電子特性和較小的電容,及因而能 夠操作在較高的切換速度,例如大約15〇 V〇lts/nanosecond 或更高、大約 2〇〇 v〇its/nan〇sec〇nd 或 更尚、或大約250 V〇lts/nanosecond或更高。如同在此所 使用者,詞彙III-氮化物或ΙΠ_Ν材料、層、裝置等等, 意指包含根據化學計量公式AlxInyGazN的混合物半導 體材料之材料或裝置,其中x+y+z大約為i。 第3圖顯示在電路操作期間由申請人在第工圖的該升 壓轉換器電路的輸出節點5所測量的輪出電壓雜訊對時 間的示圖,其中ΙΠ_ΝΗΕΜΤ可用作為電晶體u,和出N 二極體可用作為二極體12,及電晶體n以2〇〇 她心晰㈤的切換速度切換。如同所示者,電壓變 動的大數罝(例如「振鈴(ringing)」6),其為随的 指示’可隨即在每次切換m_N HEMT電晶體之後在節點 5觀察到。如同第3圖可觀察到者’峰值輪出電壓雜訊 大於濟。因此’需要進一步的改善以麼 速度下操作的顧。 门刀換 备申。f人置入第1圖的升壓轉換器電路的ιιιν ΗΕΜτ 10 201143017 和III-Ν 一極體本身固有地能以較高的電路切換速度操 作而不產生大的EMI,其它的電路寄生效應仍然產生 EMI、或對在電路内的麵產生作出貢獻。因此,減少 或消除此些寄生效應的佈局配置係必需的,以為了使該 電路以較高的切換速度操作,而不產生大的EMI。 第4圖和第5圖個別顯示一單—電子元件的一透視 圖和-顯露的平面視圖,該單一電子元件可用於取代在 第1圖的升壓轉換器電路中的電晶體11和二極體12。 使用電子7G件2G取代在升壓轉換器電路的電晶體)i和 二極體12’即使在當操作期間增加電晶體切換速度時, 可導致由該電路產生減少或可Ή的EMI,其t電晶體 11和二極體12每一者個別地封裝。第4圖的透視圖僅
