Abstract
An electronic module for a half-bridge circuit includes a base substrate with an insulating layer between a first metal layer and a second metal layer. A trench formed through the first metal layer electrically isolates first, second, and third portions of the first metal layer from one another. A high-side switch includes an enhancement-mode transistor and a depletion-mode transistor. The depletion-mode transistor includes a III-N material structure on an electrically conductive substrate. A drain electrode of the depletion-mode transistor is connected to the first portion, a source electrode of the enhancement-mode transistor is connected to the second portion, a drain electrode of the enhancement-mode transistor is connected to a source electrode of the depletion-mode transistor, a gate electrode of the depletion-mode transistor is connected to the electrically conductive substrate, and the electrically conductive substrate is connected to the second portion.
