| We report measurements of the pulsed and dc current-voltage characteristics of AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors as functions of geometry, temperature (from 300 down to 15 K), and operating conditions. An increase in the drain current with shortening of the pulse width from 1 μs to 400 ns is found to be significant at room temperature whilst this behavior is inverted or even removed at 77 and 15 K temperatures. |
