In this study, an investigation is undertaken to determine the effect of gate design parameters on the on-state characteristics (threshold voltage and gate turn-on voltage) of pGaN/AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). Design parameters considered are pGaN doping and gate metal work function. The analysis considers the effects of variations on these parameters using a TCAD model matched with experimental results. A better understanding of the underlying physics governing the operation of these devices is achieved with a view to enable better optimization of such gate designs.
