摘要
The first stable operation (> 100 h) of a AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide semiconductor heterostructure field effect transistor (MOSHFET) at very high RF power levels (similar to 20 W/mm at 2 GHz and 55 V drain bias) is reported. These record values are attributed to a current collapse-free performance resulting from using a field-plate over a leaky dielectric, and to the low forward gate currents owing to the MOS-design.
