  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present our development of a novel HEMT which uses V-shaped gate geometry to reduce the field crowding at the gate edge, and pushes the high power performance of the deeply recessed HEMTs toward higher operating voltages. The V-gate GaN HEMTs were fabricated by using a highly manufacturable approach, and demonstrated X-band power performance superior to devices made by other technologies.
