Copper-to-copper bonding for GaN integration Researchers from MIT, Georgia Tech, and Air Force Research Laboratory propose a bonding process to integrate gallium nitride (GaN) transistors onto standard silicon CMOS chips. They used the process to create a power amplifier. “We wanted to combine the functionality of GaN with the power of digital chips made of silicon, but without having to ... » read more
