5 Typical Biasing Conditions: GaN/AlGaN HEMT Drain Current (ma) Ga-rich V ds = 0.2 V L = 0.7 m W =150 m Semi-ON: High Field Lower Carrier Density pre-irradiation data Pre 5x x x x Gate Voltage (V) ON: High Current High Carrier Density OFF: High Field No Current

10 Newer UCSB Devices Proton Irradiation: GND bias R. Jiang, et al., submitted: IEEE NSREC 2016 Acknowledgment: S. W. Kaun, E. C. Kyle, and J. S. Speck, UCSB

11 Off and GND State Irradiation R. Jiang, et al., submitted: IEEE NSREC 2016

12 GND, Semi-ON, ON Irradiations Worst Case = ON Bias Stress OR Irradiation R. Jiang, et al., submitted: IEEE NSREC 2016

13 10-keV X-ray Irradiation (No displacement damage) Significant TID effects!! More visible in newer, higher quality materials R. Jiang, et al., submitted: IEEE NSREC 2016

14 Conclusions Worst-case static bias for high-field stress and irradiation of GaN/AlGaN HEMTs varies with technology. Large differences observed. Bias switching (RF) further complicates RHA. Newer technologies with lower as-processed defect densities show more TID effects. In the AlGaN? In the GaN??? e.g., due to dehydrogenation of pre-existing defects Insulating layer between gate and AlGaN?
