We report on the growth by molecular beam epitaxy of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on Si(111)/ SiO2/polySiC substrates. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of these films are studied and compared with those of heterostructures grown on thick Si(111) substrates. Field effect transistors have been realized, and they demonstrate the potentialities of III–V nitrides grown on these advanced substrates. 相似文献

The low-temperature mobility of two-dimensional electron gas in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
To reveal the internal physics of the low-temperature mobility of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in Al- GaN/GaN heterostructures, we present a theoretical study of the strong dependence of 2DEG mobility on Al content and thickness of AlGaN barrier layer. The theoretical results are compared with one of the highest measured of 2DEG mobility reported for AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. The 2DEG mobility is modelled as a combined effect of the scat- tering mechanisms including acoustic deformation-potential, piezoelectric, ionized background donor, surface donor, dislocation, alloy disorder and interface roughness scattering. The analyses of the individual scattering processes show that the dominant scattering mechanisms are the alloy disorder scattering and the interface roughness scattering at low temperatures. The variation of 2DEG mobility with the barrier layer parameters results mainly from the change of 2DEG density and distribution. It is suggested that in AlGaN/GaN samples with a high Al content or a thick AlGaN layer, the interface roughness scattering may restrict the 2DEG mobility significantly, for the AlGaN/GaN interface roughness increases due to the stress accumulation in AlGaN layer. 相似文献

The kink effect is studied in an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor by measuring DC performance during fresh, short-term stress and recovery cycle with negligible degradation. Vdg plays an assistant role in detrapping electrons and short-term stress results in no creation of new category traps but an increase in number of active traps. A possible mechanism is proposed that electrical stress supplies traps with the electric field for activation and when device is under test field-assisted hot-electrons result in electrons detrapping from traps, thus deteriorating the kink effect. In addition, experiments show that the impact ionization is at a relatively low level, which is not the dominant mechanism compared with trapping effect. We analyse the complicated link between the kink effect and stress bias through groups of electrical stress states: Vds = 0-state, off-state, on-state (on-state with low voltage, high-power state, high field state). Finlly, a conclusion is drawn that electric field brings about more severe kink effect than hot electrons. With the assistance of electric field, hot electrons tend to be possible to modulate the charges in deep-level trap. 相似文献

Degradation mechanism of two-dimensional electron gas density in high Al-content AlGaN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
This paper finds that the two-dimensional electron gas density in
high Al-content AlGaN/GaN heterostructures exhibits an obvious
time-dependent degradation after the epitaxial growth. The
degradation mechanism was investigated in depth using Hall effect
measurements, high resolution x-ray diffraction, scanning electron
microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive
x-ray spectroscopy. The results reveal that the formation of surface
oxide is the main reason for the degradation, and the surface
oxidation always occurs within the surface hexagonal defects for
high Al-content AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. 相似文献

High-electric-field-stress-induced degradation of SiN passivated AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors 下载免费PDF全文
AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are fabricated by employing SiN passivation, this paper investigates the degradation due to the high-electric-field stress. After the stress, a recoverable degradation has been found, consisting of the decrease of saturation drain current IDsat, maximal transconductance gm, and the positive shift of threshold voltage VTH at high drain-source voltage VDS. The high-electric-field stress degrades the electric characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs because the high field increases the electron trapping at the surface and in AlGaN barrier layer. The SiN passivation of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs decreases the surface trapping and 2DEG depletion a little during the high-electric-field stress. After the hot carrier stress with VDS=20 V and VGS=0 V applied to the device for 104 sec, the SiN passivation decreases the stress-induced degradation of IDsat from
36% to 30%. Both on-state and pulse-state stresses produce comparative decrease of IDsat, which shows that although the passivation is effective in suppressing electron trapping in surface states, it does not protect the device from high-electric-field degradation in nature. So passivation in conjunction with other technological solutions like cap layer, prepassivation surface treatments, or field-plate gate to weaken high-electric-field degradation should be adopted. 相似文献

The effects of vicinal sapphire substrates on the properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on vicinal sapphire
substrates and just-oriented sapphire substrates (0001) are grown by
the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method. Samples are studied
by high-resolution x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy,
capacitance--voltage measurement and the Van der Pauw Hall-effect
technique. The investigation reveals that better crystal quality and
surface morphology of the sample are obtained on the vicinal substrate.
Furthermore, the electrical properties are also improved when the sample
is grown on the vicinal substrate. This is due to the fact that the
use of vicinal substrate can promote the step-flow mode of
crystal growth, so many macro-steps are formed during crystal
growth, which causes a reduction of threading dislocations in the
crystal and an improvement in the electrical properties of the
AlGaN/GaN heterostructure. 相似文献

Channel temperature determination of multifinger AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor using micro-Raman technique 下载免费PDF全文
Self-heating in multifinger AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The device temperature is probed on the die as a function of applied bias. The operating temperature of AlGaN/GaN HEMT is estimated from the calibration curve of passively heated AlGaN/GaN structure. A linear increase of junction temperature is observed when direct current dissipated power is increased. When the power dissipation is 12.75 W at a drain voltage of 15 V, a peak temperature of 69.1 ℃ is observed at the gate edge on the drain side of the central finger. The position of the highest temperature corresponds to the high-field region at the gate edge. 相似文献

Determination of the relative permittivity of the AlGaN barrier layer in strained AlGaN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
Using the measured capacitance--voltage curves and the photocurrent
spectrum obtained from the Ni Schottky contact on a strained
Al_0.3Ga_0.7N/GaN heterostructure, the value of the relative
permittivity of the AlGaN barrier layer was analysed and calculated
by self-consistently solving Schr?dinger's and Poisson's
equations. It is shown that the calculated values of the relative
permittivity are different from those formerly reported, and reverse
biasing the Ni Schottky contact has an influence on the value of the
relative permittivity. As the reverse bias increases from 0 V to
--3~V, the value of the relative permittivity decreases from 7.184
to 7.093. 相似文献

Influence of drain bias on the electron mobility in AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors 下载免费PDF全文
Using measured capacitance-voltage curves and current-voltage characteristics for the AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors with different gate lengths and drain-to-source distances,the influence of drain bias on the electron mobility is investigated.It is found that below the knee voltage the longitudinal optical(LO) phonon scattering and interface roughness scattering are dominant for the sample with a large ratio of gate length to drain-to-source distance(here 4/5),and the polarization Coulomb field scattering is dominant for the sample with a small ratio(here 1/5).However,the above polarization Coulomb field scattering is weakened in the sample with a small drain-to-source distance(here 20 μm) compared with the one with a large distance(here 100 μm).This is due to the induced strain in the AlGaN layer caused by the drain bias. 相似文献

Recessed-gate quasi-enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors with oxygen plasma treatment 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper,the enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMT combined with the low damage recessed-gate etching and the optimized oxygen plasma treatment was fabricated.Scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer(SEM/EDS) method and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) method were used to confirm the formation of oxides.Based on the experimental results,the obtained enhancement-mode HEMT exhibited a threshold voltage of 0.5 V,a high peak transconductance of 210 mS/mm,and a maximum drain current of 610 mA/mm at the gate bias of 4 V.Meanwhile,the on/off current ratio of enhancement-mode HEMT was as high as 10~8,drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) was as low as 5 raV/V,and subthreshold swing(SS) of 80 mV/decade was obtained.Compared with the conventional HEMT,the Schottky reverse current of enhancement-mode HEMT was three orders of magnitude lower,and the off-state breakdown voltage of which was higher.In addition,a power gain cutoff frequency(/max) of the enhancement-mode HEMT was larger than that of the conventional one. 相似文献

(GaN/GaAlN/GaN)//Al2O3(00.1) HEMT heterostructures have been studied by X-ray scattering techniques, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. X-ray reflectometry has been used to determine with a high accuracy both the individual layer thicknesses and the interfacial roughness, in spite of the weak electronic density contrast between layers. From the Fourier inversion method and using a simulation software, the roughness of the interface corresponding to the two-dimensional electron gas location has been determined equal to 0.5 nm. Both high resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments have shown the excellent crystallinity of the heterostructures. Finally, the surface morphology has been inferred using atomic force microscopy experiments. 相似文献

An enhancement-mode (E-mode) AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMTs) was fabricated with 15-nm AlGaN barrier layer. E-mode operation was achieved by using fluorine plasma treatment and post-gate rapid thermal annealing. The thin barrier depletion-HEMTs with a threshold voltage typically around --1.7 V, which is higher than that of the 22-nm barrier depletion-mode HEMTs (--3.5 V). Therefore, the thin barrier is emerging as an excellent candidate to realize the enhancement-mode operation. With 0.6-μ m gate length, the devices treated by fluorine plasma for 150-W RF power at 150 s exhibited a threshold voltage of 1.3 V. The maximum drain current and maximum transconductance are 300 mA/mm, and 177 mS/mm, respectively. Compared with the 22-nm barrier E-mode devices, VT of the thin barrier HEMTs is much more stable under the gate step-stress. 相似文献

Magnetotransport properties of two-dimensional electron gas in AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
Magnetotransport measurements are carried out on the AlGaN/AlN/GaN in an SiC heterostructure, which demonstrates the existence of the high-quality two-dimensional electron gas (2DGE) at the AlN/GaN interface. While the carrier concentration reaches 1.32 × 1013 cm - 2 and stays relatively unchanged with the decreasing temperature, the mobility of the 2DEG increases to 1.21 × 104 cm2/(V·s) at 2 K. The Shubnikov—de Haas (SdH) oscillations are observed in a magnetic field as low as 2.5 T at 2 K. By the measurements and the analyses of the temperature-dependent SdH oscillations, the effective mass of the 2DEG is determined. The ratio of the transport lifetime to the quantum scattering time is 9 in our sample, indicating that small-angle scattering is predominant. 相似文献

Double heterostructures AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy and designed for use as light emitting diodes for 360 nm wavelength were patterned by shallow nanoholes and injected with Ag/SiO2 or Al nanoparticles. A 1.8 times increase in the photoluminescence and microcathodoluminescence signal from the GaN active region was observed for 100 nm diameter Al nanoparticles, the efficiency decreased compared to the reference planar samples for small Al nanoparticles of 30–40 nm diameter, and a moderate increase of 1.2 times was detected for Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles. The observed phenomena are explained by the GaN emitter coupling with localized surface plasmons produced by metallic nanoparticles. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were exposed to 1 MeV neutron irradiation at a neutron fluence of 1 × 1015 cm-2. The dc characteristics of the devices, such as the drain saturation current and the maximum transconductance, decreased after neutron irradiation. The gate leakage currents increased obviously after neutron irradiation. However, the rf characteristics, such as the cut-off frequency and the maximum frequency, were hardly affected by neutron irradiation. The AlGaN/GaN heterojunctions have been employed for the better understanding of the degradation mechanism. It is shown in the Hall measurements and capacitance-voltage tests that the mobility and concentration of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) decreased after neutron irradiation. There was no evidence of the full-width at half-maximum of X-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curve changing after irradiation, so the dislocation was not influenced by neutron irradiation. It is concluded that the point defects induced in AlGaN and GaN by neutron irradiation are the dominant mechanisms responsible for performance degradations of AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices. 相似文献

采用O2等离子体及HF溶液对AlGaN/GaN异质结材料进行表面处理后,Ni/Au肖特基接触特性比未处理有了明显改善,反向泄漏电流减小3个数量级.对制备的肖特基接触进行200—600℃ 5min的N2气氛退火,发现退火冷却后肖特基反向泄漏电流随退火温度增大进一步减小.N2气中600℃退火后肖特基二极管C-V特性曲线在不同频率下一致性变好,这表明退火中Ni向材料表面扩散减小了表面陷阱密度;C-V特性曲线随退火温度增大向右移动,从二维电子气耗尽电压绝对值减小反映了肖特基势垒的提高.
