Performance of commercial foundry-level AlGaN/GaN HEMTs after hot electron stressing
Hot electron or Channel Hot Carrier (CHC) degradation explored in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. Hot electron stress test reported for commercial foundry-level AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. Devices stressed following prior literature methodology, then with Vd overstress. Hot electron stress revealed no hot electron degradation at expected conditions. Greater detail is revealed about devices, testing, and types of degradation observed.
