Evaluation of the Thermal Resistance in GaN-Diodes by means of Electro-Thermal Monte Carlo Simulations

In this paper we use an electro-thermal method [solver of the heat-flux equation coupled with an ensemble Monte Carlo (MC) simulator] to extract the value of the thermal resistance, Rth, in diodes consisting in un-gated Al0.27Ga0.73N/GaN heterostructures. Different substrates (polycrystalline diamon...
