OSIRIS quantitative objectives have been based on initial thermal simulations for the two targeted applications:
I. Microwave applications
- Potential cost of processed wafer: decrease of 30%
- Thermal resistance improvement: 5°C.mm/W for 20 mm total gate development
- Lifetime: improvement by around 1 order of magnitude (i.e. 10-20°C junction temperature decrease
at given power dissipation) - Microwave gain: increase of 1dB
- Electrical efficiency: increase of about 5% for high frequency CW applications (i.e. above 18 GHz)
II. Power electronics applications
- Planar device: Thermal resistance improvement of 5°C.mm/W for 100 mm gate width.
- Vertical device: to be determined.
It is forecast that by the end of this collaboration the TRL progress will be shifted from 3 to 5
