基于多晶金刚石制作了栅长为4 pm的铝栅氢终端金刚石场效应晶体管.器件的饱和漏源电流为160 mA/mm,导通电阻低达37.85Ω·mm,最大跨导达到32 mS/mm,且跨导高于最大值的90%的栅压(V_(GS))范围达到3 V(-2 V≤V_(GS)≤-5 V).通过传输线电阻分析以及器件的导通电阻和电容-电压特性分析,发现氢终端多晶金刚石栅下沟道中的空穴面浓度达到了1.56×10~(13)cm~(-2),有效迁移率在前述高跨导栅压范围保持在约170 cm~2/(V·s).分析认为,较低的栅源和栅漏串联电阻、沟道中高密度的载流子和在大范围栅压内的高水平迁移率是引起高而宽阔的跨导峰和低导通电阻的原因.

沟道长度和宽度对石墨烯场效应晶体管电荷输运的影响

本文基于理论的方法研究了沟道长度和宽度对石墨烯场效应晶体管中大信号和小信号参数的影响. 在快速饱和及高特征频率条件下，石墨烯场效应晶体管均表现出优异的性能. 从传递曲线可以看到，随着沟道长度从440 nm变到20 nm，产生了一个从0.15 V 到0.35 V的狄拉克点正偏移，同时也揭示了石墨烯的双极特性. 而且，由于沟道变宽及漏电流增加，当沟道宽度为2 μm和5 μm时，相应的最大电流为2.4 mA和6 mA. 另外，还在石墨烯场效应晶体管中观察到了几乎对称的电容-电压特性，电容会随着沟道变短而减小，但另一方面电容又可以通过沟道展宽来增加. 最后，在沟道长度为20 nm处获得了一个6.4 mS的高跨导，在沟道宽度为5 μm处获得的跨导值为4.45 mS，特征频率为3.95 THz.

Investigation on threshold voltage of p-channel GaN MOSFETs based on p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure

The threshold voltage (V_th) of the p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is investigated via Silvaco-Atlas simulations. The main factors which influence the threshold voltage of p-channel GaN MOSFETs are barrier height Φ_1,p, polarization charge density σ_b, and equivalent unite capacitance C_oc. It is found that the thinner thickness of p-GaN layer and oxide layer will acquire the more negative threshold voltage V_th, and threshold voltage |V_th| increases with the reduction in p-GaN doping concentration and the work-function of gate metal. Meanwhile, the increase in gate dielectric relative permittivity may cause the increase in threshold voltage |V_th|. Additionally, the parameter influencing output current most is the p-GaN doping concentration, and the maximum current density is 9.5 mA/mm with p-type doping concentration of 9.5×10¹⁶ cm^-3 at V_GS = -12 V and V_DS = -10 V.     

High linearity AlGaN/GaN HEMT with double-Vth coupling for millimeter-wave applications

Ferroelectric effect and equivalent polarization charge model of PbZr_(0.2)Ti_(0.8)O_3 on AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMT

PbZr_(0.2)Ti_(0.8)O_3(PZT) gate insulator with the thickness of 30 nm is grown by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) in AlGa N/Ga N metal–insulator–semiconductor high electron mobility transistors(MIS-HEMTs). The ferroelectric effect of PZT Al Ga N/Ga N MIS-HEMT is demonstrated. The polarization charge in PZT varies with different gate voltages. The equivalent polarization charge model(EPCM) is proposed for calculating the polarization charge and the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas(2 DEG). The threshold voltage(Vth) and output current density(IDS) can also be obtained by the EPCM. The theoretical values are in good agreement with the experimental results and the model can provide a guide for the design of the PZT MIS-HEMT. The polarization charges of PZT can be modulated by different gate-voltage stresses and the Vthhas a regulation range of 4.0 V. The polarization charge changes after the stress of gate voltage for several seconds. When the gate voltage is stable or changes at high frequency, the output characteristics and the current collapse of the device remain stable.     

Non-recessed-gate quasi-E-mode double heterojunction AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor with high breakdown voltage

A non-recessed-gate quasi-E-mode double heterojunction AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(quasi-EDHEMT) with a thin barrier, high breakdown voltage and good performance of drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL)was presented. Due to the metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) grown 9-nm undoped AlGaN barrier, the effect that the gate metal depleted the two-dimensiomal electron gas(2DEG) was greatly impressed. Therefore, the density of carriers in the channel was nearly zero. Hence, the threshold voltage was above 0 V. Quasi-E-DHEMT with 4.1-μm source-to-drain distance, 2.6-μm gate-to-drain distance, and 0.5-μm gate length showed a drain current of 260 mA/mm.The threshold voltage of this device was 0.165 V when the drain voltage was 10 V and the DIBL was 5.26 mV/V. The quasi-E-DHEMT drain leakage current at a drain voltage of 146 V and a gate voltage of-6 V was below 1 mA/mm. This indicated that the hard breakdown voltage was more than 146 V.     

Performance of La₂O₃/InAlN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors

We report on the performance of La2O3/InAlN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors(MOSHEMTs) and InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs).The MOSHEMT presents a maximum drain current of 961 mA/mm at Vgs = 4 V and a maximum transconductance of 130 mS/mm compared with 710 mA/mm at Vgs = 1 V and 131 mS/mm for the HEMT device,while the gate leakage current in the reverse direction could be reduced by four orders of magnitude.Compared with the HEMT device of a similar geometry,MOSHEMT presents a large gate voltage swing and negligible current collapse.
