摘要：

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors are gaining commercial acceptance for use in high power and high frequency applications, but the degradation mechanisms that drive failure in the field are not completely understood. Since some of these mechanisms are current or field driven, reliability studies must go beyond the typical Arrhenius-accelerated life tests. In this paper, we summarize recent work on electric field or current driven degradation in devices with different gate metallization, device dimensions, electric field mitigation techniques (such as source field plates) and the effect of device fabrication processes for both dc and RF stress conditions.
