This paper reports the theoretical analysis of substrate (Sapphire, Si, SiC, Diamond) effects on the saturation drain current and transconductance of Al. <inf xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;27&lt;/inf> Ga. <inf xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;73&lt;/inf> N/GaN high-electron mobility transistor using analytical approach. This model includes polar optical phonon scattering, source-drain resistance and self-heating effects with a wide temperature ranges. It is found that substrates have significant effects on the dc performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMT. The model reports very good performance of HEMT fabricated on Diamond substrate due to its excellent thermal conductivity properties and a comparative analysis of the performance on different substrates at high voltage level is presented.
