Abstract
In this paper, gate resistance thermometry (GRT) was used to determine the channel temperature of AlGaN/GaN high electron-mobility transistors. Raman thermometry has been used to verify GRT by comparing the channel temperatures measured by both techniques under various bias conditions. To further validate this technique, a thermal finite-element model has been developed to model the heat dissipation throughout the devices. Comparisons show that the GRT method averages the temperature over the gate width, yielding a slightly lower peak temperature than Raman thermography. Overall, this method provides a fast and simple technique to determine the average temperature under both steady-state and pulsed bias conditions.
