  • Abstract
    III-nitride electron devices are attracting considerable attention for future wireless communication equipments and power electronics systems. This paper gives an overview on the state-of-the-art performance of AlGaN/GaN heterojunction FETs and describes some key issues concerning further improvements in the device performance. Focus is also on the future perspectives of III-nitride-based transistor applications.
