Analysis of Trap and Recovery Characteristics Based on Low-Frequency Noise for E-Mode GaN HEMTs Under Electrostatic Discharge Stress

The ESD effects on the E-mode AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with p-GaN gate are investigated under repetitive TLP pulses. Firstly, the degradation and recovery of output, transfer characteristics, gate-leakage characteristics and low-frequency noises (LFN) are analyzed in deta...

description The ESD effects on the E-mode AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with p-GaN gate are investigated under repetitive TLP pulses.

The experimental results show that the electrical characteristics of the devices gradually degraded as the transmission line pulse (TLP) pules increased. Subsequently, the LFN measurements are performed over the frequency range of 1 Hz&#x2013;10 KHz by increasing TLP pulses.
