Gallium nitride (GaN) based high electron mobility transistors (GaN-HEMTs) are widely used as power amplifying device for high power and high frequency application.
Since GaN-HEMTs generate much heat during the operation, so-called “hot-spot” could be generated at the active region in the transistors, which derives deterioration in the performance.
1-inch-size GoD HEMTs have been successfully fabricated using room-temperature surface activated bonding for large-area fabrication of diamond substrates, which can contribute to reduction in diamond device cost.
In this presentation, details of device fabrication steps and characterization results of those devices are reported.
