12.88 W/mm GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor on Silicon Substrate for High Voltage Operation

Abstract: We have demonstrated the highest RF output power density of 12.88 W/mm, to our knowledge, at 2.14 GHz in GaN high electron mobility transistor on silicon (Si) substrate at high voltage operation. This highest record was achieved by reducing the parasitic loss at the conductive interface layer between the epitaxial structure and the Si substrate, and thinning the Si substrate thickness. The parasitic loss evaluation by a capacitance–voltage method proved to be effective since the epitaxial wafer selection is po… Show more

“…Although sapphire has been used widely, it exhibits poor thermal conductivity compared to SiC and Si. Recently, Si as a substrate has attracted much attention for the epitaxial growth of III-nitrides because of its low cost, larger size (diameters of up to 12 inch), and it permits the integration of III-nitride based devices with well-established Sielectronics [3][4][5][6].…”

“…It has to be pointed out that these frequency performances have been achieved despite non-optimized high RF losses of about 2 dB/mm as can be seen in Figure 4b. The RF losses extracted from transmission lines reflect a parasitic conduction at the buffer/Si substrate interface due to the intermixing between the GaN buffer layer and the Si substrate [14].…”

“…SiC offers the best solution for power handling with relatively high production cost [3]. GaN HEMTs on silicon substrate become an alternative approach because of its low cost and massproduction capability [4,5]. The use of field plates (FP) in GaN HEMTs enhances breakdown voltage and boosts power performance due to the mitigation of crowded electric field at the gate edge.…”
