Our TCAD study suggests that in cases where parasitic gate leakage is the driving trapping mechanism that promotes the injection of electrons from the Schottky gate contact into surface states, this effect can be alleviated by reducing t ch of the undoped GaN channel. We show that by decreasing t ch from 130 to 10 nm, devices exhibit a reduction in gate-related current collapse under the specific class-B RF operating bias conditions as a consequence of a substantial decrease in the off-state gate leakage with reducing t ch. Large-signal simulations revealed an increase by 3 W mm−1 and about 12% output power and power-added efficiency due to the decrease of gate-related collapse. This work, for the first time, highlights the role of a proper purely undoped GaN t ch selection to alleviate gate-related surface trapping in the design of GaN-based microwave power amplifiers.

Herein, it is demonstrated that a reduction of the gate‐to‐drain distance (Lgd) from 2.0 to 0.5 μm results in 7% reduction in the current collapse. This improvement is attributed to a decrease in surface trapping, which, in this case, is found to have a greater impact on current collapse than relatively slow traps in the buffer layer. To support this argument, TCAD simulations are conducted. Load‐pull analysis confirms that scaling the devices to Lgd = 0.5 μm provides 15% better output power density at 10 GHz than Lgd = 2.0 μm. Additionally, a new passivation layer for reduced surface traps exhibits a 20 to 30% higher output power density and at least a 10% improvement in power‐added efficiency at 20 GHz on a nominally identical GaN‐on‐semi‐insulating SiC epi‐wafer.
