Abstract
- In this article, pulsed measurements of thermal resistance in GaN-based high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on silicon, with different gate geometries and gate-to-drain extensions, are analyzed and modeled. Simple expressions for the thermal resistance of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFETs, which take into account the gate width and channel length, can be adapted to model the thermal resistance of these GaN-based HEMTs. Narrow width effects and the increase in the heat flow through the gate as the channel length increases were correctly reproduced. In addition, numerical simulations were performed to explain the reduction obtained in thermal resistance as the gate-to-drain extension increases. Our approach can also be applied easily to other well-established models using circuit simulators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
