DC- and RF-pulsed measurements of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on high resistive silicon (111) substrate are achieved under probes in the 300–525 K temperature range. Current collapse and heating effects are studied and it demonstrates the high temperature properties of these devices. Hence the potential of this technology for power applications at...

For the first time, to the knowledge of the authors, GaN MESFETs on silicon substrate have been realised using low-pressure metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy. The devices demonstrate good pinch-off voltage and good breakdown voltage characteristics. A maximum extrinsic transconductance of 30 mS/mm was achieved on a 100 * 0.5 µm2 device. At a...

The properties of a new class of electromechanical resonators based on GaN are presented. By using the two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) present at the AlGaN/GaN interface and the piezoelectric properties of this heterostructure, we use the R-HEMT (Resonant High Electron Mobility Transistor) as an active piezoelectric transducer up to 5MHz....

In this letter, we demonstrate that, for high linearity application, GaN devices benefit from their high drain-source bias voltages. An improvement up to 20 dB in intermodulation ratio can be observed at high power levels compared to usual GaAs PHEMT devices. This study demonstrates that the high bandgap GaN devices are ideal candidates for the...

This paper reports on the kink effect observed in InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors. Electrical characterizations were carried out to point out the influence of this phenomenon on transistor behaviour. It is demonstrated that the kink effect is directly correlated to shallow traps located under the conduction band. A model is...

In this paper, we propose an assessment up to 325 GHz of Micro Laser Sintering (MLS) metal 3D-Printing technology in order to achieve lightweight and cost-effective millimeter wave (mmW) passive function. We first designed and manufactured a bended WR5 waveguide in order to assess achievable roughness and insertion loss. In a second step, an...

Regrown Ohmic contacts have been widely studied for high millimeter-wave applications. However, few were applied to InAl(Ga)N-based HEMT despite the lattice match benefits with GaN channel because of the poor thermal stability of the quaternary barrier. In this article, we use relatively low temperature (850 °C) MOVPE technique for the regrowth...
