The operation of high power RF transistor generates a huge amount of heat and thermal effect is a major consideration for improving the efficiency of power transistors. AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on silicon substrates have been studied extensively because of their high thermal conductivity. This study comprehensively investigates the DC, low frequency noise, microwave and RF power performance of Al0.27Ga0.73N/GaN HEMTs on silicon substrates at temperatures from room temperature to 100 degrees C using high work function metals such as palladium (Pd) and iridium (Ir) gate metals. Although the conventional Ni gate exhibited a good metal work function with AlGaN, which is beneficial for increasing the Schottky barrier height of HEMTs, the diffusion of Ni metal toward the AlGaN and GaN layers influences the DC and RF stability of the device at high temperatures or over long-term operation. Pd and Ir exhibited less diffusion at high temperature than Ni. resulting in less degradation of device characteristics after high temperature operation. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
