Hydrodynamic Modeling of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the needs of high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) optimization a reliable software simulation tool is required. Due to the high electric field in the device channel a hydrodynamic approach is used to properly model the electron transport. We modify an existing hydrodynamic mobility model in order to achieve a better agreement with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data and measured DC and AC characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.

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

متن کاملEffect of electron-beam irradiation on leakage current of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on sapphire
This study examined the effect of electronbeam (E-beam) irradiation on the electrical properties of n-GaN, AlGaN and AlGN/GaN structures on sapphire substrates. E-beam irradiation resulted in a significant decrease in the gate leakage current of the n-GaN, AlGaN and HEMT structure from 4.0×10 -4 A, 6.5×10 -5 A, 2.7×10 -8 A to 7.7×10 -5 A, 7.7×10 -6 A, 4.7×10 -9 A, respectively, at a drain volta...
