  • Abstract
    The high power densities targeted for GaN HEMT on SiC technology can dramatically increase the performance of radar systems. The increasing power will require improved heat removal technologies associated with conduction and convection. Here we explore combined cooling technologies based on SiC substrate and SiC or Cu microstructures, which improve the thermal performance of high power devices.
