  • Abstract
    The electrical effects of SiNx deposition on GaN MESFETs have been investigated. Significant effects induced from the dielectric coating have been observed depending on the deposition temperature used in the technological process. A power density increase of 30% has been observed after the device passivation performed at 200°C
