PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI A-APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE(2011)
摘要
In this paper, we discuss the progress in the application of silicon-on-diamond (SOD) and chemically vapour deposited (CVD) diamond wafers as an alternative solution to silicon and silicon carbide (SiC) substrates to enhance heat dissipation away from the active region of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) while decreasing thermal degradation due to thermal effects. The superior thermal conductivity and insulating properties of polycrystalline diamond (815 Wcm/K) free-standing wafers have demonstrated certain advantages, mostly evident in the device performance and reliability. Two unique diamond growth applications engineered by sp(3) Diamond Technologies Inc., and Group4 Labs Inc., are discussed and device performance data is presented from early attempts to our most current device research efforts. As single-crystalline diamond wafers (similar to 20 Wcm/K) become more accessible and affordable, it is expected to see significant improvement over the current state of this technology. [GRAPHICS]
