High Frequency Analysis and Small-Signal Modeling of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with SiO2/SiN Passivation

Abstract

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on Silicon substrates grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated using small-signal microwave measurements, to see performance Radio-frequency of components. Passivation of HEMT devices SiO 2 /SiN a different pretreatment is used to reduce the effects of trapping and consequently has a large effect on these radio-frequency parameters. We used cold-FET and hot FET technique to extract the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters in order to show the effect passivation of parasitic elements; the parasitic capacitances, resistances and inductances. From this point we discover the extent of their impact on power and microwave performance.
