Abstract
We describe the development and issues related to fabrication, die processing, and packaging GaN-on-diamond high-electron mobility transistors into X-band amplifier modules. We perform thermal resistance measurements on these amplifiers using liquid-crystal thermography and show that they agree with theory and previously published measurements on GaN-on-diamond devices.
