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...

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...
