Abstract

An electron-thermal Monte Carlo (MC) simulator is used for examining electron confinement in a number of GaN heterostructures. Results suggest an enhancement in the influence of self-heating effects due to the better confinement of carriers in the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistor (HFET).
