摘要
An investigation on the field plate technique in AlGaN/GaN power HEMTs is presented. The critical geometrical variables controlling the field distribution in the channel are determined and optimized for improved device reliability using two-dimensional numerical simulations. The results are implemented in the design of devices fabricated with 600 nm down to 150 mn gate lengths. Good agreement between experimental and simulation data is achieved.
