Abstract

See full text

Use of gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor material for power devices is challenging due to low yield caused by high defect density on the wafer. Device layout on the wafer, chip probing, and device packaging increase the yield of large area power devices. Device dies containing a plurality of lower-power sub-devices are used to achieve high power ratings, by connecting only functional sub-devices together in the package, while being tolerant of defective sub-devices by selectively excluding the defective sub-devices. The packages and methods are particularly relevant to GaN power switching devices such as high electron mobility transistors (GaN HEMT).
