A study of GaN for high temperature (HT, up to 500 °C) digital circuits was conducted. A HT-robust GaN-on-Si technology based on enhancement-mode p-GaN-gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and depletion-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs was proposed and used to implement different digital ci...

This Letter reports the stability of regrown and alloyed Ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN-on-Si high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) for high temperature applications up to 500 °C. Transfer length method (TLM) measurements from 25 to 500 °C in air show that the regrown contacts appear to be stable ...

Abstract GaN devices show improved performance in high-temperature analog and power electronic applications. However, a high-temperature all-GaN chip is challenging because of the limited availability of all-GaN system components that can operate at extreme temperatures. This paper presents the desi...

Abstract This paper reports an effective way of improving the linearity of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) by modulating the AlGaN barrier thickness under the gate electrode along its width. This produces an offset in the local equivalent threshold voltage ( <mml:math xmlns:mml=...
