摘要: GaN in microwave and power electronics enables performances of systems their safe operating area to be driven 'extremes'. When this challenge is taken up, thermal management one the major issues addressed. This includes heat transfer limitations across interfaces, however also potential incorporating novel materials such as diamond bulk into improve device reliability. Thermal parameters these implications on channel temperature devices are at present often not well known. Our latest results field presented.
