Empirical and Physical Modeling of Self-Heating in Power AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

چکیده
This work shows results of dynamic lumpedelement (LE) thermal modeling of power AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. A realistic 3D structure including top-side metals, GaN-Si thermal boundary resistance, die-attach, and source via hole is modeled using a finite-element (FE) tool, and the results are used to develop simplified LE dynamic thermal models. We show that the LE models can match the FE data with excellent accuracy.

Large–Signal Modeling of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Analytically Calculated Thermal Resistance
A large–signal model of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs grown on sapphire substrate with gate width Wg = 2 × 150 μm and gate length Lg = 250 nm is presented. The equivalent circuit model accurately describes the sub–threshold region and takes into account the self–heating effects. The thermal resistance has been calculated analytically. The DC, small–signal and large– signal behaviour are accurately described ...

متن کاملADVANCED LARGE-SIGNAL MODELING OF GaN-HEMTs
For improved non-linear modeling of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors, a largesignal model originally developed for GaAs-based devices has been extended by introduction of a thermal sub-circuit to account for self-heating. Thereby, DC output characteristics which typically show negative output conductance at a high dissipating power level are well reproduced. Since self-heating also ...

A single-finger physical model of 180 nm gatelength and 75 μm gate-width AlGaN/GaN HEMTs is described including lateral structure and vertical material parameters. The Farahmand Modified Caughey Thomas fitting function and the Monte Carlo model are used to express the 2DEG mobility in low and high field respectively. Then DC characteristics is simulated and the initial condition generated by se...
