← TechnologyWhich risk increases concerning the gate-source junction insulation within gallium nitride (GaN) HEMTs operating at elevated temperatures?
A)Increased gate leakage current✓
B)Drain current saturation falloff
C)Lowered channel mobility drift
D)Elevated on-resistance instability
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature accelerates trap creation near the gate-source junction, and trap-assisted tunneling becomes dominant; therefore, elevated leakage increases, rather than ohmic resistance changes, because tunneling probability exponentially depends upon trap density.
