Abstract:
GaN-HEMT technology with BCB encapsulation was successfully established without compromises in DC and RF performance. It was shown that same power levels of 6 W/mm and high efficiencies higher than 60% at 2 GHz can be achieved with BCB encapsulation as compared with reference air-bridge power bar design. However, transistor´s dynamic behavior especially with high Al-content barrier layer is still a topic of investigations.
