Abstract

We describe high power 150 W CW output power 36-mm gate-pereiphery AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on a SiC substrate with a power added efficience (PAE) of 54% operated at 63 V drain bias voltage (Vds).  Vds dependence of third order-intermodulation (IM3) was also characterized at Vds up to 50 V.  Preliminary reliability was characterized using a RF power stress test.  A CE P3dB RF-power measurement at Vds of 60 V exhibited good reliability for 1000 h.
