High-power SiC MESFET using a dual p-buffer layer for an S-band power amplifier

A silicon carbide (SiC) based metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) is fabricated by using a standard SiC MESFET structure with the application of a dual p-buffer layer and a multi-recessed gate to the process for an S-band power amplifier. The lower doped upper-buffer layer serves to maintain the channel current, while the higher doped lower-buffer layer is used to provide excellent electron confinement in the channel layer. A 20-mm gate periphery SiC MESFET biased at a drain voltage of 85 V demonstrates a pulsed wave saturated output power of 94 W, a linear gain of 11.7 dB, and a maximum power added efficiency of 24.3% at 3.4 GHz. These results are improved compared with those of the conventional single p-buffer MESFET fabricated in this work using the same process. A radio-frequency power output greater than 4.7 W/mm is achieved, showing the potential as a high-voltage operation device for high-power solid-state amplifier applications.

Effects of gate-buffer combined with a p-type spacer structure on silicon carbide metalben semiconductor field-effect transistors

An improved structure of silicon carbide metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFET) is proposed for high power microwave applications. Numerical models for the physical and electrical mechanisms of the device are presented, and the static and dynamic electrical performances are analysed. By comparison with the conventional structure, the proposed structure exhibits a superior frequency response while possessing better DC characteristics. A p-type spacer layer, inserted between the oxide and the channel, is shown to suppress the surface trap effect and improve the distribution of the electric field at the gate edge. Meanwhile, a lightly doped n-type buffer layer under the gate reduces depletion in the channel, resulting in an increase in the output current and a reduction in the gate-capacitance. The structural parameter dependences of the device performance are discussed, and an optimized design is obtained. The results show that the maximum saturation current density of 325 mA/mm is yielded, compared with 182 mA/mm for conventional MESFETs under the condition that the breakdown voltage of the proposed MESFET is larger than that of the conventional MESFET, leading to an increase of 79% in the output power density. In addition, improvements of 27% cut-off frequency and 28% maximum oscillation frequency are achieved compared with a conventional MESFET, respectively.     

Two-dimensional analytical subthreshold model of graded channel DG FD SOI n-MOSFET with gate misalignment effect

A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical subthreshold model is developed for a graded channel double gate (DG) fully depleted SOI n-MOSFET incorporating a gate misalignment effect.

The model is applied to both uniformly doped (UD) and graded channel (GC) DG MOSFETs. The results of an analytical model agree well with 3-D simulated data obtained by ATLAS-3D device simulation software.

Analytical modeling and simulation of subthreshold behavior in nanoscale dual material gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT

A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical model for a Dual Material Gate (DMG) AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) has been developed to demonstrate the unique attributes of this device structure in suppressing short channel effects (SCEs). The model accurately predicts the channel potential, electric field variation along the channel, and sub-threshold drain current, taking into account the effect of lengths of the two gate metals, their work functions, barrier layer thicknesses, and applied drain biases. It is seen that the SCEs and hot carrier effects in DMG AlGaN/GaN HEMT are suppressed due to the work function difference of the two metal gates, thereby screening the drain potential variations by the gate near the drain. Besides, a more uniform electric field along the channel leads to improved carrier transport efficiency. The accuracy of the results obtained from our analytical model has been verified using ATLAS device simulations.     

Operational improvement of AlGaN/GaN HEMT on SiC substrate with the amended depletion region

In this paper, a high performance AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) on SiC substrates is presented to improve the electrical operation with the amended depletion region using a multiple recessed gate (MRG–HEMT). The basic idea is to change the gate depletion region and a better distribution of the electric field in the channel and improve the device breakdown voltage. The proposed gate consists of lower and upper gate to control the channel thickness. Also, the charge of the depletion region will change due to the optimized gate. In addition, a metal between the gate and drain including the horizontal and vertical parts is used to better control the thickness of the channel. The breakdown voltage, maximum output power density, cut-off frequency, maximum oscillation frequency, minimum noise figure, maximum available gain (MAG), and maximum stable gain (MSG) are some parameters for designers which are considered and are improved in this paper.     

Breakdown mechanisms in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors with different GaN channel thickness values

In this paper,the off-state breakdown characteristics of two different AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors（HEMTs）,featuring a 50-nm and a 150-nm GaN thick channel layer,respectively,are compared.The HEMT with a thick channel exhibits a little larger pinch-off drain current but significantly enhanced off-state breakdown voltage(SV_off).Device simulation indicates that thickening the channel increases the drain-induced barrier lowering（DIBL） but reduces the lateral electric field in the channel and buffer underneath the gate.The increase of BV_off in the thick channel device is due to the reduction of the electric field.These results demonstrate that it is necessary to select an appropriate channel thickness to balance DIBL and BV_off in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.
