Abstract:
1. A monolithically integrated enhancement-mode HFET arrangement, comprising: a group III nitride enhancement-mode HFET that includes: a gate bus electrically coupled to the gate of the enhancement-mode HFET; a voltage shifter monolithically integrated with the enhancement-mode HFET, said voltage shifter having a first terminal electrically coupled to the gate bus of the enhancement mode HFET; a load resistive element monolithically integrated with the enhancement-mode HFET and the voltage shifter, the load resistive element being electrically coupled to the gate bus; and wherein the drain of the enhancement-mode HFET serves as an input drain node of the monolithically integrated enhancement-mode HFET, the source of the enhancement-mode HFET serves as an input source node of the monolithically integrated enhancement-mode HFET and a second terminal of the voltage shifter serves as an input gate node of the monolithically integrated enhancement-mode HFET.
