摘要
The self-heating has been measured and simulated for GaN field effect transistors. For a high frequency test device, which is really two devices in parallel, experiments are described where one side of the device has been heated and the other side used to monitor the self-heating and heat-flow from the side of the device where the self-heating is severe.
