Résumé

Abstract: This paper details an extraction procedure to fully model the transient self-heating of transistors from a GaN HEMT technology. Frequency-resolved gate resistance thermometry (f-GRT) is used to extract the thermal impedance of HEMTs with various gate widths. A fully scalable analytical model is developed from the experimental results. In the second stage, transient thermoreflectance imaging (TTI) is used to bring deeper insights into the HEMTs' temperature distribution by individually extracting the transient self-heating of each finger. TTI results are further used to successfully validate the f-GRT results and the modeling of the thermal impedance. Overall, f-GRT is demonstrated to be a fast and robust method for characterizing the transient thermal characteristics of a GaN HEMT. For the first time to the authors' knowledge, a scalable model of the thermal impedance is extracted fully from experimental results.
