The wide bandgap, high-breakdown electric field, and high carrier mobility makes GaN an ideal material for high-power high-frequency electronics applications, such as wireless communication radar systems. However, the performance reliability of GaN-based high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) are limited by channel temperature induced Joule heating in device channel.
