Modeling negative and positive temperature dependence of the gate leakage current in GaN high-electron mobility transistors

Monte Carlo simulations show that, as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of channel electrons in a GaN transistor first decreases and then increases. According to the calculations, the relative energy change reaches 40%. This change leads to a reduced barrier height due to quantum cou...
