- the composite semiconductor device As shown in FIG. 1, the composite semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present application includes a drain terminal T1, a source terminal T2, a gate terminal T3, a normally-on field effect transistor 1, a normally-off field effect transistor 2, And N diodes 3 (where N is a natural number).
- a power supply voltage V1 is applied to the drain terminal T1, and a power supply voltage V2 (for example, ground voltage) lower than the power supply voltage V1 is applied to the source terminal T2.
- a power supply voltage V2 for example, ground voltage
- One voltage of the “L” level voltage V3 and the “H” level voltage V4 (> V3) is selectively applied to the gate terminal T3.
- Transistor 1 is made of GaN, for example, and has negative threshold voltage VTH1. The transistor 1 becomes non-conductive when the gate-source voltage is lower than VTH1, and becomes conductive when the gate-source voltage is higher than VTH1.
- Transistor 2 is an N-channel MOS transistor formed of, for example, Si, and has positive threshold voltage VTH2. The transistor 2 becomes non-conductive when the gate-source voltage is lower than VTH2, and becomes conductive when the gate-source voltage is higher than VTH2.
- V3 ⁇ V2 The difference (V3 ⁇ V2) between the “L” level voltage V3 applied to the gate terminal T3 and the power supply voltage V2 applied to the source terminal T2 is set to a voltage lower than the threshold voltage VTH2 of the transistor 2. ing. Therefore, when the “L” level voltage V3 is applied to the gate terminal T3, the transistor 2 becomes non-conductive.
- V4 ⁇ V2 The difference (V4 ⁇ V2) between the “H” level voltage V4 applied to the gate terminal T3 and the power supply voltage V2 applied to the source terminal T2 is higher than the threshold voltage VTH2 of the transistor 2. Is set. Therefore, when the “H” level voltage V4 is applied to the gate terminal T3, the transistor 2 becomes conductive. A diode may be connected in antiparallel to each of the transistors 1 and 2.
- the N diodes 3 are connected in series in the forward bias direction between the drain and source of the transistor 2. Assuming that the threshold voltage of each diode 3 is VTH3, the sum of the threshold voltages of N diodes 3 (N ⁇ VTH3) is set to a predetermined voltage Vc that is equal to or lower than the breakdown voltage of the transistor 2. Therefore, when the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 exceeds the predetermined voltage Vc, the N diodes 3 are both turned on. For this reason, the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 is maintained at a predetermined voltage Vc or lower that is not higher than the breakdown voltage of the transistor 2, and the transistor 2 is prevented from being destroyed.
- FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 when the voltage at the gate terminal T3 in FIG. 1 is switched from the “H” level voltage V4 to the “L” level voltage V3.
- the transistor 2 is turned off after a predetermined time (time t1).
- the transistor 1 Since ⁇ Vc ⁇ VTH1 is set, the transistor 1 is turned off after a predetermined time from when ⁇ Vds ⁇ VTH1 (time t3). Therefore, the transistors 1 and 2 are both non-conductive, and the source terminal T1 and the drain terminal T2 are non-conductive.
- the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 is a voltage Vd obtained by dividing the voltage (V1-V2) between the terminals T1 and T2 by the resistance value of the transistors 1 and 2. In this way, the composite semiconductor device operates as a normally-off type switching element.
- FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a comparative example of the first embodiment, which is compared with FIG.
- the composite semiconductor device of FIG. 3 is different from the composite semiconductor device of FIG. 1 in that N diodes 3 are replaced by Zener diodes 4.
- the cathode and anode of the Zener diode 4 are connected to the drain and source of the transistor 2, respectively.
- the Zener voltage of the Zener diode 4 is set to the predetermined voltage Vc.
- the composite semiconductor device of FIG. 3 operates in the same manner as the composite semiconductor device of FIG.
- the response speed of the Zener diode 4 is considerably slower than the response speed of the diode 3. For this reason, even if the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 suddenly rises and exceeds the predetermined voltage Vc, the Zener diode 4 does not conduct, and the transistor 2 may be destroyed.
- FIG. 4 is a time chart showing the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 when the voltage at the gate terminal T3 in FIG. 3 is switched from the “H” level voltage V4 to the “L” level voltage V3.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram contrasted with FIG. 2.
- the transistor 2 is turned off after a predetermined time (time t1).
- the transistor 1 At the moment when the transistor 2 becomes non-conductive, the transistor 1 is still conductive and a current flows through the transistor 1. For this reason, the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 1 rapidly increases. Even if the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 reaches the predetermined voltage Vc, the Zener diode 4 still does not operate, and the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 exceeds the predetermined voltage Vc (time t2 ).
- the transistor 1 Since ⁇ Vc ⁇ VTH1 is set, the transistor 1 is turned off after a predetermined time from when ⁇ Vds ⁇ VTH1 (time t3). Therefore, the transistors 1 and 2 are both non-conductive, and the source terminal T1 and the drain terminal T2 are non-conductive. Thereafter, the Zener diode 4 operates (time t4), and the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 is a voltage obtained by dividing the voltage (V1-V2) between the terminals T1 and T2 by the resistance value of the transistors 1 and 2. Vd.
- the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 exceeds the predetermined voltage Vc, and the transistor 2 may be destroyed.
- the response speed of the diode 3 since the response speed of the diode 3 is fast, the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 is limited to a predetermined voltage Vc or less, and the transistor 2 is not destroyed.
- the time (t2 ⁇ t1) from when the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 starts to rise until the N diodes 3 become conductive is determined between the drain-source of the transistor 2 It is preferable to set it to one half or less of the time (t3 ⁇ t1) from when the voltage Vds starts to rise until the transistor 1 becomes non-conductive.
- This can be achieved, for example, by adjusting a predetermined voltage Vc, that is, a sum of threshold voltages of N diodes 3 (N ⁇ VTH3). With this setting, it is possible to reliably prevent the transistor 2 from being destroyed due to the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 2 exceeding the breakdown voltage of the transistor 2.
- the composite semiconductor device according to the second embodiment of the present application includes a drain terminal T11, a source terminal T12, a gate terminal T13, a normally-on field effect transistor 11, a normally-off field effect transistor 12, N diodes (where N is a natural number, for example, 4) and resistance elements 14 and 15 are provided.
- the power supply voltage V11 (150V) is applied to the drain terminal T11, and the ground voltage V12 (0V) is applied to the source terminal T12.
- One of the “L” level voltage V13 (0V) and the “H” level voltage V14 (10V) is selectively applied to the gate terminal T3.
- the drain of the normally-on type field effect transistor 11 is connected to one electrode of the resistance element (load resistance) 14, and the other electrode of the resistance element 14 is connected to the drain terminal T11.
- the resistance value of the resistance element 14 is 141 ⁇ .
- the gate of the transistor 11 is connected to the source terminal T12 via a resistance element (gate resistance) 15.
- the resistance value of the resistance element 15 is 10 ⁇ .
- the transistor 11 has a negative threshold voltage VTH11 ( ⁇ 3 V). The transistor 11 becomes non-conductive when the gate-source voltage is lower than VTH11, and becomes conductive when the gate-source voltage is higher than VTH11.
- the source of the normally-off type field effect transistor 12 is connected to the source terminal T12, its drain is connected to the source of the transistor 11, and its gate is connected to the gate terminal T13.
- Transistor 12 has a positive threshold voltage VTH12 (+2 V).
- the transistor 12 becomes non-conductive when the gate-source voltage is lower than VTH12, and becomes conductive when the gate-source voltage is higher than VTH12. Therefore, when the “L” level voltage V13 is applied to the gate terminal T13, the transistor 12 becomes non-conductive.
- the “H” level voltage V14 is applied to the gate terminal T13, the transistor 12 becomes conductive.
- the transistor 12 includes a parasitic diode. In FIG. 6, the parasitic diode is shown as a diode 12 a connected between the source and drain of the transistor 12.
- the breakdown voltage of the transistor 12 is Va
- Va / VTH13 ⁇ 2N is desirable. This is because the breakdown voltage and the on-resistance value of the transistor 12 are in a trade-off relationship, and if the breakdown voltage of the transistor 12 is increased more than necessary, the characteristics of the composite semiconductor device are degraded.
- the drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor 12 is a voltage Vd obtained by dividing the voltage (V11 ⁇ V12) between the terminals T11 and T12 by the resistance value of the resistance element 14 and the transistors 11 and 12. In this way, the composite semiconductor device operates as a normally-off type switching element.
- a heterojunction field effect GaN transistor is used as the normally-on type field effect transistor 11.
- the transistor 11 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor chip 20 as shown in FIG.
- the semiconductor chip 20 includes a semiconductor substrate 21, a buffer layer 22, a channel layer 23, a barrier layer 24, and a gate electrode 25, a source electrode 26 formed on the surface of the barrier layer 24, And a drain electrode 27.
- the gate electrode 25 is provided between the source electrode 26 and the drain electrode 27.
- the semiconductor substrate 21 is a crystalline silicon (Si) substrate.
- the buffer layer 22 is made of AlGaN.
- the channel layer 23 is made of GaN.
- the barrier layer 24 is made of Al 0.25 Ga 0.75 N.
- the gate electrode 25 includes a WN layer and a W layer that are sequentially stacked on the surface of the barrier layer 24.
- a Schottky junction is formed by the gate electrode 25 and the barrier layer 24. That is, a Schottky barrier diode is formed across the gate electrode 25 and the barrier layer 24.
- Each of the source electrode 26 and the drain electrode 27 includes an Hf layer, an Al layer, an Hf layer, and an Au layer that are sequentially stacked on the surface of the barrier layer 24.
- Each of the source electrode 26 and the drain electrode 27 and the barrier layer 24 form a resistance junction.
- an N channel type MOS field effect transistor formed of Si was used as the normally-off type field effect transistor 12.
- the performance required for the diode 13 is to turn on quickly when the voltage between the anode and the cathode exceeds the threshold voltage VTH13. Furthermore, the diode 13 needs to be low cost. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a Schottky barrier diode is used as the diode 13.
- the Schottky barrier diode is a unipolar rectifier, there is less recovery charge and switching loss is reduced. In addition, since the operation time of the Schottky barrier diode is short, the leakage current can be reliably suppressed even when the switching is fast, and an increase in the intermediate voltage (the drain voltage of the transistor 12) can be suppressed.
- the field effect transistor may be a low withstand voltage element. If a withstand voltage normally-off type GaNFET of about several tens of volts or more is used, low loss or high speed switching is possible. Further, since the normally-on GaN FET and the unipolar rectifier can be manufactured with the same structure or the same process, integration is also possible.

- FIG. 8B shows a shot formed using a wide band gap semiconductor material. It is a figure which shows the VI characteristic of a key barrier diode.

- FIG. 8 (b) shows the number N of diodes 13 connected in series as 1. The VI characteristics are shown when changing from ⁇ 4.
- FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b) in order to turn on at a certain voltage Von, when a diode formed of a normal material is used, six diodes need to be connected in series. When the diode 13 formed of a band gap material is used, it is sufficient to connect the four diodes 13 in series.
- the current that flows when a predetermined voltage V1 (V1> Von) is applied to a series connection body of six diodes formed of a normal material is I1
- the four diodes 13 formed of a wide band gap material If a current that flows when a predetermined voltage V1 is applied to the serial connection body is I2, I2> I1. Therefore, the diode 13 formed of a wide band gap material has an advantage that a larger current can flow than a diode formed of a normal material.
