High-speed silicon CMOS circuits and high-power AlGaN/GaN amplifiers are
integrated on the same wafer. A thin layer of high resistivity silicon is
bonded on a substrate. Following the bonding, an AlGaN/GaN structure is
grown over the bonded silicon layer. A silicon nitride or a silicon oxide
layer is then deposited over the AlGaN/GaN structure. Following this, a
thin layer of silicon is bonded to the silicon nitride/silicon oxide
layer. An area for the fabrication of AlGaN/GaN devices is defined, and
the silicon is etched away from those areas. Following this, CMOS devices
are fabricated on the silicon layer and AlGaN/GaN devices fabricated on
the AlGaN/GaN surface.
