Determination of the Gate Breakdown Mechanisms in p-GaN Gate HEMTs by Multiple-Gate-Sweep Measurements [PDF]
In this work, we studied the gate breakdown mechanisms of p-GaN gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs by a novel multiple-gate-sweep-based method. For the first time, three different breakdown mechanisms were observed and identified separately in the same devices: the metal/p-GaN junction breakdown, the p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN junction breakdown, and the passivation related ...

Investigating the Failure Mechanism of p-GaN Gate HEMTs under High Power Stress with a Transparent ITO Gate [PDF]
The channel temperature distribution and breakdown points are difficult to monitor for the traditional p-GaN gate HEMTs under high power stress, because the metal gate blocks the light.

Investigation of the Gate Degradation Induced by Forward Gate Voltage Stress in p-GaN Gate High Electron Mobility Transistors [PDF]
In this work, we investigated the degradation of the p-GaN gate stack induced by the forward gate voltage stress in normally off AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with Schottky-type p-GaN gate. The gate stack degradations of p-GaN gate

Revealing the Mechanism of the Bias Temperature Instability Effect of p-GaN Gate HEMTs by Time-Dependent Gate Breakdown Stress and Fast Sweeping Characterization [PDF]
The bias temperature instability (BTI) effect of p-GaN gate high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) is a serious problem for reliability. To uncover the essential cause of this effect, in this paper, we precisely monitored the shifting process of the ...

Surface-Potential-Based Compact Modeling of p-GaN Gate HEMTs. [PDF]
We propose a surface potential (SP)-based compact model of p-GaN gate high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) which solves the Poisson equation. The model includes all possible charges in the GaN channel layer, including the unintended Mg doping density caused by out-diffusion.

Gate-geometry dependence of electrical characteristics of p-GaN gate HEMTs [PDF]
In this Letter, we experimentally investigate the impact of gate geometry on forward operation of Schottky-gate p-GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). In particular, we analyze devices with changing gate-metal/p-GaN junction area and p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure area in the linear regime. These devices exhibit unique threshold voltage and

Reliability of p-GaN Gate HEMTs in Reverse Conduction
Synchronous buck converter comprises a low side (LS) and a high side (HS) switch, where the HS switch works in the first quadrant (forward conduction) whereas the LS switch works in the third quadrant (reverse conduction). However, the reliability of the p-GaN gate high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) in reverse conduction is unclear. In this work,
