  • Abstract
    The influence of device layout and packaging on transistor temperature was investigated. The operating temperatures of GaAs power PHEMTs were measured with integrated temperature sensors from 20 - 200°C with an accuracy of a few degrees. The measured data are in very good agreement with our three-dimensional simulation results. Thus, reliable prediction on the effect of packaging and layout details on device temperature is possible.
