Role

IMEC will lead the activities on vertical device development in WP1 and coordinate work between the different partners and over the workpackages. IMEC will be the task leader of Task 2.1.3 (Benchmark low voltage 100V GaN devices) and Task 5.2.3 (interface and oxide defects in GaN).

Key Contribution

IMEC’s main contribution to the project will be in device fabrication, reliability testing, device design and simulation. Related to this there will be activities on MOCVD GaN growth to help define and realize the process splits on both vertical and lateral devices.
