Recently there has been a rapid domestic development in group iII nitride semiconductor electronic materials and devices. This paper reviews the important progress in GaN-based wide bandgap microelectronic materials and devices in the key Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which focuses on the research of the fundamental physical mechanisms of group III nitride semiconductor electronic materials and devices with the aim to enhance the crystal quality and electric performance of GaN-based electronic materials, develop new GaN heterostructures, and eventually achieve high performance GaN microwave power devices. Some remarkable progresses achieved in the program will be introduced, including those in GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOSHEMTs) with novel high-k gate insulators, and material growth, defect analysis and material properties of InAlN/GaN heterostructures and HEMT fabrication, and quantum transport and spintronic properties of GaN-based heterostructures, and high- electric-field electron transport properties of GaN material and GaN Gunn devices used in terahertz sources.

We report a high power Ku band internally matched power amplifier (IMPA) with high power added efficiency (PAE) using 0.3 μm A1GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on 6H-SiC substrate. The intemal matching circuit is designed to achieve high power output for the developed devices with a gate width of 4 mm. To improve the bandwidth of the amplifier, a T type pre-matching network is used at the input and output circuits, respectively. After optimization by a three-dimensional electromagnetic (3D-EM) simulator, the amplifier demonstrates a maximum output power of 42.5 dBm (17.8 W), PAE of 30% to 36.4% and linear gain of 7 to 9.3 dB over 13.8-14.3 GHz under a 10% duty cycle pulse condition when operated at Vas = 30 V and Vgs = -4 V. At such a power level and PAE, the amplifier exhibits a power density of 4.45 W/mm.

The impacts of varying layout geometries on the channel temperature of multi-finger AIGaN/GaN HEMTs are investigated by three-dimensional (3-D) thermal simulations. Micro-Raman thermography is selected to obtain a detailed and accurate temperature distribution of the sample for the verification of the 3-D thermal models. Thermal boundary resistance (TBR) plays an important role in the temperature distribution and is taken into account in the thermal model in order to improve the accuracy of the simulated results. The influence from the number of fingers, finger width and gate pitch on the gate temperature are systematically analysed using 3-D thermal simulations with validated model parameters. Furthermore, a robust method that could efficiently reduce the thermal crosstalk of multi-finger AlGaN/GaN HEMTs is proposed to optimize the thermal design of the device.
