Gate Reliability of p-GaN HEMT With Gate Metal Retraction [PDF]
In this article, we present an analysis of the gate degradation induced by long-term forward gate stress in GaN-based power HEMTs with p-type gate, controlled by a Schottky metal-retracted/p-GaN junction. In particular, time-dependent gate breakdown and threshold voltage instability are investigated as function of different geometries, gate biases, and

An Actively-Passivated p-GaN Gate HEMT With Screening Effect Against Surface Traps [PDF]
An active-passivation p-GaN gate HEMT (AP-HEMT), featuring an active p-GaN passivation layer extending into the drain-side access region, is demonstrated on a commercial E-mode p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure wafer.

Gate Reliability and VTH Stability Investigations of p-GaN HEMTs [PDF]
Gate reliability and reverse-bias-stress-induced $V$ TH instability issues were investigated in the E-mode p-GaN gate HEMTs. A GaN-based p-n junction gate (PNJ) HEMT featuring an $n$ -GaN/ $p$ -GaN/AlGaN/GaN gate stack was proposed to effectively reduce the gate leakage and enlarge safe gate operation bias region of the p-GaN gate devices. The $V$

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

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 ...
