The effect of the nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) field plate on the electrical and thermal characteristics of Ga2O3 MOSFETs is systematically investigated by electrothermal device simulation. The NCD field plate increases the drain current due to the suppression of the self-heating-effect-induced current drop in the saturation region for Ga2O3 MOSFETs. A >67 % reduction of maximum temperature rise can be achieved for the devices operating at P = 1.4 W/mm by using the NCD field plate. The peak temperature of the NCD field-plated Ga2O3 MOSFET decreases as the field plate length increases, while a thicker field plate support layer (>400 nm) almost eliminates the field plate effect. These results show that the NCD field plate can enhance the electrical and thermal characteristics of Ga2O3 MOSFETs, and provide insight into the thermal design of Ga2O3-based power devices.

使用纳米晶金刚石场板增强 Ga2O3 MOSFET 的热稳定性
通过电热器件仿真系统地研究了纳米晶金刚石 (NCD) 场板对 Ga 2 O 3 MOSFET 的电气和热特性的影响。由于抑制了 Ga 2 O 3 MOSFET 饱和区中自热效应引起的电流下降,NCD 场板增加了漏极电流。通过使用 NCD 场板,在P = 1.4 W/mm 下运行的设备可以将最大温升降低 67% 以上。NCD场镀Ga 2 O 3的峰值温度MOSFET 随着场板长度的增加而减小,而较厚的场板支撑层 (>400 nm) 几乎消除了场板效应。这些结果表明,NCD 场板可以增强 Ga 2 O 3 MOSFET 的电学和热学特性,并为基于 Ga 2 O 3的功率器件的热设计提供见解。
