Popis: This study optimized the field plate (FP) design (i.e., the number and positions of FP layers) of p-GaN power high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on the basic of simulations conducted using the technology computer-aided design software of Silvaco. Devices with zero, two, and three FP layers were designed. The FP layers of the HEMTs dispersed the electric field between the gate and drain regions. The device with two FP layers exhibited a high off-state breakdown voltage of 1549 V because of the long distance between its first FP layer and the channel. The devices were subjected to high-temperature reverse bias and high-temperature gate bias measurements to examine their characteristics, which satisfied the reliability specifications of JEDEC.
