    Abstract: Field plate structures for gallium nitride (GaN) high voltage transistors are disclosed. In one aspect, a transistor includes a GaN substrate, a source region formed on the GaN substrate, a drain region formed on the GaN substrate and separate from the source region, a gate region formed between the source region and the drain region, a pedestal formed on the GaN substrate and positioned between the gate region and the drain region, and a field plate electrically coupled to the source region, where the field plate extends from a proximal region positioned between the source region and the pedestal, towards the drain region, where at least a portion of the field plate overlaps at least a portion of the pedestal.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate and a first gallium nitride (GaN) transistor formed on a first semiconductor die that is electrically coupled to the substrate. A second GaN transistor is formed on a second semiconductor die and is also electrically coupled to the substrate. An integral heat spreader is thermally coupled to the first and the second gallium nitride semiconductor dies and is electrically coupled to the substrate. A first bias voltage is applied to the first GaN transistor via the integral heat spreader and a second bias voltage is applied to the second GaN transistor via the integral heat spreader.

    Abstract: Structures and related techniques for singulating GaN-on-Si wafers are disclosed. In one aspect, a semiconductor wafer includes a silicon layer, and a gallium nitride (GaN) layer disposed on the silicon layer and defining a plurality of trenches that each extend to the silicon layer. In another aspect, the GaN layer includes one or more gallium nitride layers of different compositions. In yet another aspect, the wafer includes a plurality of dielectric layers disposed on the GaN layer. In yet another aspect, each of the plurality of trenches has a depth that is equal to a sum of a thickness of the GaN layer and a thickness of the plurality of the dielectric layers.
