The invention provides a method for measuring the junction temperature of a gallium nitride microwave power device, comprising the following steps: S1, calculating the heat distribution of the tube core of the gallium nitride microwave power tube; S2, calibrating the temperature of the device substrate and the tube shell; S3, using a micro Raman method is used to measure the temperature of the gallium nitride layer; S4, the thermal reflection imaging method is used to measure the temperature of the gate metal; S5, the finite element analysis method is used to calculate the maximum junction temperature and three-dimensional temperature distribution of the gallium nitride layer. The invention can obtain the highest junction temperature point, channel temperature distribution and three-dimensional temperature distribution of the gallium nitride microwave power device in the working state. The validity of the test data can be verified through the combination of simulation and experimental measurement data, and the measurement error and real junction temperature extrapolation error caused by accidental factors can be avoided as much as possible. The upper and lower boundary conditions are used to calculate and fit the junction of GaN devices. temperature, with the benefit of a more accurate junction temperature.
