Breakdown mechanism in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on Si substrate

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on Si substrates have attracted a great interest for power electronics applications. Despite the low cost of the Si substrate, the breakdown voltage (V[subscript bk]) of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs grown on Si (less than 600 V for 2 μm total nitride epi...
