Abstract
- Stress voltages on time-dependent breakdown characteristics of GaN MIS-HEMTs during negative gate bias stress (with V<subscript>GS</subscript> < 0, V<subscript>D</subscript> = V<subscript>S</subscript> = 0) and off-state stress (V<subscript>G</subscript> < V<subscript>Th</subscript>, V<subscript>DS</subscript> > 0, V<subscript>S</subscript> = 0) are investigated. For negative bias stress, the breakdown time distribution (β) decreases with the increasing negative gate voltage, while β is larger for higher drain voltage at off-state stress. Two humps in the time-dependent gate leakage occurred under both breakdown conditions, which can be ascribed to the dielectric breakdown triggered earlier and followed by the GaN layer breakdown. Combining the electric distribution from simulation and long-term monitoring of electric parameter, the peak electric fields under the gate edges at source and drain sides are confirmed as the main formation locations for per-location paths during negative gate voltage stress and off-state stress, respectively.
