However, due to the particular architecture of GaN high electron mobility transistors, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the material induces the appearance of localized hotspots that degrade the devices performance and compromise their long term reliability. On the search of effective thermal management solutions, the integration of GaN and synthetic diamond with high thermal conductivity and electric breakdown strength shows a tremendous potential. A significant effort has been made in the past few years by both academic and industrial players in the search of a technological process that allows the integration of both materials and the fabrication of high performance and high reliability hybrid devices. Different approaches have been proposed, such as the development of diamond\/GaN wafers for further device fabrication or the capping of passivated GaN devices with diamond films. This paper describes in detail the potential and technical challenges of each approach and presents and discusses their advantages and disadvantages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15020415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,7]],"date-time":"2022-01-07T01:14:02Z","timestamp":1641518042000},"page":"415","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Diamond\/GaN HEMTs: Where from and Where to?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9271-207X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana C.","family":"Mendes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Departamento de Eletr\u00f3nica, Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Inform\u00e1tica, Universidade de Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Liehr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"W&L Coating Systems GmbH, Bingenheimer Str. 32, D-61203 Reichelsheim, Germany"}]},{"given":"Changhui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"W&L Coating Systems GmbH, Bingenheimer Str. 32, D-61203 Reichelsheim, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"625","article-title":"Physics and technology of gallium nitride materials for power electronics","volume":"41","author":"Roccaforte","year":"2018","journal-title":"Riv. del Nuovo Cim."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"11","article-title":"GaN for power devices: Benefits, applications, and normally-off technologies","volume":"2017-Octob","author":"Longobardi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Proc.
