9.4-W/mm power density AlGaN-GaN HEMTs on free-standing GaN substrates

High power microwave AlGaN-GaN high electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on free-standing GaN substrates are demonstrated for the first time. Measured gate leakage was -2.2 /spl mu/A/mm at -20 V and -10 /spl mu/A/mm at -45 V gate bias. When operated at a drain bias of 50 V, devices showed a record continuous-wave output power density of 9.4 W/mm at 10 GHz with an associated power-added efficiency of 40%.
