This has been supported by continuous innova-tion in the components structure and related semiconductor technology.

reliability characteristics of the transistors (Figure 2), as we’ll develop further below. The transistor is turned on resp. off like a field effect transistor, by applying a gate-source volt-age above resp. below a threshold voltage. In off state, the p-GaN gate depletes the electron gas underneath by lifting
