Research project

  • Modeling on GaN avalanche photodiodes

A flip-chip GaN p-i-n-i-n avalanche photodiode (APD) which integrates the merits of the prevailing APDs—hole-initiated multiplication process and frontillumination is proposed and studied via simulation. A new structure provided a guidance for APD design.

  • Investigation on GaN HEMT degradation dynamics

Temperature-dependent dynamic degradation was investigated for C-doped GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) from 300 to 20 K. A trapping-effect induced degradation dynamics were comprehensively investigated.
