摘要: Thermal-boundary resistance (TBR) is present at the interfaces between different materials due to mismatch in phonon density of states. When GaN grown on silicon or carbide, when chemical-vapor deposited diamond GaN, TBR interface epilayers and substrate can contribute significantly overall thermal electronic devices. However, buffer layer an AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) offers a certain degree heat spreading placed above boundary potentially offering reduction if its thickness were optimized. We analyze flow typical HEMT substrates show that optimizing leads lower device.
