Abstract

Operating temperature distributions in AlGaN/GaN gateless and gated devices are characterized and analyzed using the InfraScope temperature mapping system. For the first time, a substantial rise of channel temperature at the inner ends of ohmic contacts has been observed. Synchrotron radiation-based...
