Summary: | Gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor (GaN HEMT) applications in high-power and high-frequency environments can lead to high device temperatures due to the self-heating effect, thus limiting device performance and reliability. In order to address this problem, this paper changes the material and structure of the device. It successfully reduces the maximum temperature of the device to 335 K by using a new structure of the diamond substrate, diamond heat sink layer, and InGaN insertion layer. Simulation results show that the new structure has a 35% reduction in maximum temperature, a 61% increase in current, a 37% improvement in maximum transconductance, and a 35% improvement in current collapse. At the same time, the new structure also improves the electron mobility of the channel.
