Review on the degradation of GaN-based lateral power transistors

Several mechanisms may contribute to the degradation of GaN transistors; in this paper we discuss the main processes that limit the lifetime of GaN power devices, with focus on the following relevant aspects: (i) the degradation/breakdown induced by off-state bias; (ii) the origin of vertical leakag...
