Abstract
⺠We assessed the impact of high temperature storage test on GaN HEMTs. ⺠We observed that only the gate and drain leakage currents were strongly affected by this test. ⺠The physical failure analysis revealed a Au inter-diffusion phenomenon at the gate level, affecting the gate-AlGaN interface. ⺠We speculated that Au inter-diffusion was at the origin of the gate leakage current increase.
