- A Low-Pressure-Chemical-Vapor-Deposition (LPCVD) bilayer SiNx passivation scheme has been investigated and developed, which effectively suppress the current collapse in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. Low current slump is very helpful for microwave power amplifier application. Compared to in-situ SiNx passivations by metal-organic-chemical-vapor-deposition (MOCVD) and ex-situ SiNx passivations by plasma-enhanced-chemical-vapor-deposition (PECVD), the LPCVD SiNx exhibits the quickest recovery time from double-sweep IV curves. From pulsed IV and load-pull measurements, LPCVD SiNx is also confirmed to deliver superior large signal performance. The bilayer LPCVD SiNx passivated device shows negligible current slump (

- A C-band GaN amplifier is reported. The design method is focused on high linearity load optimization and use of non-linear transistor models to predict harmonic generation and intermodulation products. The amplifier is characterized in terms of S-parameters, single tone and two tone output power. The measured small signal gain is 24.6 dB. The 1 dB compression point is measured at 36 dBm and the output third order intercept point (OIP3) is above 45 dBm. The power consumption is 10.7 W, the channel temperature 205 degrees C at drain bias 15 V avoiding stress on the device for reliable operation.
