Abstract

We report on improvement of ESD characteristics of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) using metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure aluminium nitride (AlN) flip-chip (FC) submount. Compared with FC-free HEMT, measured results of the FC HEMT show the improvements of 25 and 150% under drain-to-source and gate-to-source electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress respectively, which is attributed to an extra path formed in the MIM structure AlN FC submount to flow the ESD current and to support the charge by the additional capacitances.
