Abstract(in English) The GaN power device have a very low value of RonQg as a figure of merit for power devices, where Ron denotes on-state resistance , and Qg gate charge. Therefore the most significant feature of GaN power devices is a high-frequency switching capability. In order to maximize this capability, the parasitic capacitances of GaN power devices should be as low as possible, and an embedded source field-plate structure is introduced. The structure enables the devices to switch in an order of ns. On the other hand, high-frequency switching deteriorates EMC, while it an be a key technology to miniaturize the power supply. Simulations have been developed to design power circuits without violating the EMC standard.
