摘要
Record power performance at 4 GHz has been obtained using field-plated AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on sapphire substrate. High power density (12 W/mm) as well as high efficiency (58%) have been measured. A comparison between devices with and without field plate on the same sample showed a significant reduction in knee-voltage walk-out for the field-plated device, thus enabling high power and efficiency operation.
