In this work we systematically study the structural, optical and electrical properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by MOCVD 3-inch on SiC substrates Thefinally developed HEMTs demonstrate excellent highvoltage stability, high power performance and large power added efficiencies. For a drain bias of 100 V an output-power-density around 26 W/mm with 25 dB linear gain is obtained. On 36 mm gate width devices an output power beyond 100 W is achieved with a power added efficiency above 60% and a linear gain around 17 dB. Ruggedness on these large devices is proven by successfully passing harsh intentional device mismatch tests during operation at 50 V. Reliability is tested at a drain bias of 50 V. Under DC conditions a drain-current degradation below 20% after 20 years is extrapolated. Under RF stress the observed change in output power is well below 0.1 dB after a test duration of more than 500h
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
