Abstract

This paper reports that the unclamped inductive switching (UIS) withstanding capability of high voltage GaN-HEMTs depends on the gate leakage current. The relation between the UIS withstanding capability and the gate leakage current is discussed by the results of the UIS test for GaN-HEMTs with a p-type gate structure. Conclusively, the relation between the UIS withstanding capability and the crystal defect density around the gate for the GaN-HEMT was clarified.
