摘要
We report on the trade-off between performance and reliability for AlGaN/GaN transistors. It is shown that changes in epitaxial growth, transistor design and process may lead to an improvement in performance but are, at the same time, accompanied by a degradation of device reliability. As a result we show strategies in order to balance performance and reliability as both are linked. Based on these findings we have realized state-of-the-art power bars for mobile communication systems and X-band MMICs for radar applications. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
