Abstract

The gate leakage mechanism in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) is studied analytically using a charge-based model over a wide range of bias and temperature. Three distinct current mechanisms, Poole-Frenkel (PF), Defect assisted tunneling (DAT) and Thermionic emission (TE) are modeled. PF is the significant mechanism in reverse bias, while TE and DAT are the two dominant mechanisms in forward and low reverse bias respectively. This model is implemented in Verilog-A and rigorously validated with experimental data.
