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...

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.
