Abstract
We show results of temperature-dependent reverse-bias step-stressing of normally-off high-power GaN FETs. In the range 250–350 K, the stress voltage at which the FETs fail catastrophically does not show a clear temperature dependence, while some correlation is observed with the initial leakage current value. Our results, consistent with other published reports, point to the activation of a deep gate-to-drain leakage path as the responsible for fatal device degradation at large values of the drain–gate reverse bias.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
