Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) heterostructure field effect transistor (HFET) technology have become the main stream solution for RF communication infrastructure applications for 5G networks and beyond. This paper presents a 0.25 μm gate length delivering gain and efficiency improvements along with superior reliability and without compromising our low memory differentiation. The technology delivers 10 W/mm power density and 79% drain efficiency at 3.5 GHz while maintaining strong drain lag performance over temperature. A Doherty amplifier based on this technology delivers 56-59% efficiency, >16 dB gain over the 3.4-3.8 GHz band under a 20 MHz L TE signal with 38.5 dBm average output power with >16 dB gain. RF Intrinsic reliability tests predict> 1e7 hr. MTTF with < 0.01 FITs at 225°C.
