Abstract

This paper reports an inter-laboratory comparison of the thermal characterization of GaN HEMTs using the gate resistance thermometry (GRT) technique. GRT test benches at three different universities in the United States are utilized to conduct GRT calibration and biased transistor measurements using best practices at each respective laboratory. The results in this work demonstrate excellent precision of GRT calibration and measurements – a critical assessment for ensuring accurate electrothermal modeling of GaN HEMTs. This work could be useful for GaN HEMT characterization and modeling engineers for determining the level of precision in GRT measurements and understanding discrepancies between GRT measurements collected at different laboratories.
