contents We present a comprehensive investigation of self-heating in gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) through technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations and phonon Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. With microscopic phonon-based electrothermal simulations, we scrutinize both the temperature profiles and electrothermal coupling effect within GaN HEMTs. Two metrics, maximum channel temperature ($T_\text{max}$) and equivalent channel temperature ($T_\text{eq}$), are introduced to measure the reliability and electrical performance degradation of the device, respectively. The influence of bias-dependent heat generation and phonon ballistic transport on the two indicators is thoroughly examined.
