| Abstract: | The damage effect characteristics of Ga As pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor(p HEMT) under the irradiation of C band high-power microwave(HPM) is investigated in this paper. Based on the theoretical analysis, the thermoelectric coupling model is established, and the key damage parameters of the device under typical pulse conditions are predicted, including the damage location, damage power, etc. By the injection effect test and device microanatomy analysis through using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS), it is concluded that the gate metal in the first stage of the device is the vulnerable to HPM damage, especially the side below the gate near the source. The damage power in the injection test is about 40 d Bm and in good agreement with the simulation result. This work has a certain reference value for microwave damage assessment of p HEMT. |
