Self-Heating Effects in High-Power AlGaN/GaN HFETs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
We report on the non-invasive measurement of temperature, i.e., self-heating effects, in active AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field effect transistors (HFETs). Micro-Raman spectroscopy was used to produce temperature maps with ≈1 μm spatial resolution and a temperature accuracy of better than 10°C. Significant self-heating effects in the source-drain opening of AlGaN/GaN HFETs were measured. Devices grown on sapphire and SiC substrates were compared. Three-dimensional finite-difference heat dissipation calculations were performed as function of device geometry.
