In this work, we use a 3-nm-thick Al_(0.64)In_(0.36)N back-barrier layer in In_(0.17)Al_(0.83) N/Ga N high-electron mobility transistor(HEMT) to enhance electron confinement. Based on two-dimensional device simulations, the influences of Al_(0.64)In_(0.36) N back-barrier on the direct-current(DC) and radio-frequency(RF) characteristics of In AlN/GaN HEMT are investigated, theoretically. It is shown that an effective conduction band discontinuity of approximately 0.5 eV is created by the 3-nm-thick Al_(0.64)In_(0.36) N back-barrier and no parasitic electron channel is formed. Comparing with the conventional In AlN/GaN HEMT, the electron confinement of the back-barrier HEMT is significantly improved, which allows a good immunity to short-channel effect(SCE) for gate length decreasing down to 60 nm(9-nm top barrier). For a 70-nm gate length, the peak current gain cut-off frequency( f_T) and power gain cut-off frequency( f_(max)) of the back-barrier HEMT are172 GHz and 217 GHz, respectively, which are higher than those of the conventional HEMT with the same gate length. 相似文献

The T-gate stem height of In Al As/In Ga As In P-based high electron mobility transistor(HEMT) is increased from165 nm to 250 nm. The influences of increasing the gate stem height on the direct current(DC) and radio frequency(RF)performances of device are investigated. A 120-nm-long gate, 250-nm-high gate stem device exhibits a higher threshold voltage(Vth) of 60 m V than a 120-nm-long gate devices with a short gate stem, caused by more Pt distributions on the gate foot edges of the high Ti/Pt/Au gate. The Pt distribution in Schottky contact metal is found to increase with the gate stem height or the gate length increasing, and thus enhancing the Schottky barrier height and expanding the gate length,which can be due to the increased internal tensile stress of Pt. The more Pt distributions for the high gate stem device also lead to more obvious Pt sinking, which reduces the distance between the gate and the In Ga As channel so that the transconductance(gm) of the high gate stem device is 70 m S/mm larger than that of the short stem device. As for the RF performances,the gate extrinsic parasitic capacitance decreases and the intrinsic transconductance increases after the gate stem height has been increased, so the RF performances of device are obviously improved. The high gate stem device yields a maximum ft of 270 GHz and fmax of 460 GHz, while the short gate stem device has a maximum ft of 240 GHz and the fmax of 370 GHz. 相似文献

The damage effect characteristics of Ga As pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor(p HEMT) under the irradiation of C band high-power microwave(HPM) is investigated in this paper. Based on the theoretical analysis, the thermoelectric coupling model is established, and the key damage parameters of the device under typical pulse conditions are predicted, including the damage location, damage power, etc. By the injection effect test and device microanatomy analysis through using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS), it is concluded that the gate metal in the first stage of the device is the vulnerable to HPM damage, especially the side below the gate near the source. The damage power in the injection test is about 40 d Bm and in good agreement with the simulation result. This work has a certain reference value for microwave damage assessment of p HEMT. 相似文献

为了优化传统Al GaN/GaN高电子迁移率晶体管(high electron mobility transistors,HEMTs)器件的表面电场,提高击穿电压,本文提出了一种具有部分本征GaN帽层的新型Al GaN/GaN HEMTs器件结构.新型结构通过在Al GaN势垒层顶部、栅电极到漏电极的漂移区之间引入部分本征GaN帽层,由于本征GaN帽层和Al GaN势垒层界面处的极化效应,降低了沟道二维电子气(two dimensional electron gas,2DEG)的浓度,形成了栅边缘低浓度2DEG区域,使得沟道2DEG浓度分区,由均匀分布变为阶梯分布.通过调制沟道2DEG的浓度分布,从而调制了Al GaN/GaN HEMTs器件的表面电场.利用电场调制效应,产生了新的电场峰,且有效降低了栅边缘的高峰电场,Al GaN/GaN HEMTs器件的表面电场分布更加均匀.利用ISE-TCAD软件仿真分析得出:通过设计一定厚度和长度的本征GaN帽层,Al GaN/GaN HEMTs器件的击穿电压从传统结构的427 V提高到新型结构的960 V.由于沟道2DEG浓度减小,沟道电阻增加,使得新型Al GaN/GaN HEMTs器件的最大输出电流减小了9.2%,截止频率几乎保持不变,而最大振荡频率提高了12%. 相似文献

提出了一种新型GaN异质结高电子迁移率晶体管在强电磁脉冲下的二维电热模型,模型引入材料固有的极化效应,高场下电子迁移率退化、载流子雪崩产生效应以及器件自热效应,分析了栅极注入强电磁脉冲情况下器件内部的瞬态响应,对其损伤机理和损伤阈值变化规律进行了研究.结果表明,器件内部温升速率呈现出"快速-缓慢-急剧"的趋势.当器件局部温度足够高时(2000 K),该位置热电子发射与温度升高形成正反馈,导致温度急剧升高直至烧毁.栅极靠近源端的柱面处是由于热积累最易发生熔融烧毁的部位,严重影响器件的特性和可靠性.随着脉宽的增加,损伤功率阈值迅速减小而损伤能量阈值逐渐增大.通过数据拟合得到脉宽τ与损伤功率阈值P和损伤能量阈值E的关系. 相似文献

在TCAD半导体仿真环境中,建立了0.25 m栅长的AlGaAs/InGaAs高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)低噪声放大器与微波脉冲作用的仿真模型,基于器件内部的电场强度、电流密度和温度分布的变化,研究了1 GHz的微波从栅极和漏极注入的损伤机理。研究结果表明,从栅极注入约40.1 dBm的微波时,HEMT内部峰值温度随着时间的变化振荡上升,最终使得器件失效,栅下靠源侧电流通道和强电场的同时存在使得该位置最容易损伤;从漏极注入微波时,注入功率的高低会使器件内部出现不同的响应过程,注入功率存在一个临界值,高于该值,器件有可能在第一个周期内损伤,损伤位置均在漏极附近。在1 GHz的微波作用下,漏极注入比栅极注入更难损伤。 相似文献

<正>In this study,the physics-based device simulation tool Silvaco ATLAS is used to characterize the electrical properties of an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT) with a U-type gate foot.The U-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT mainly features a gradually changed sidewall angle,which effectively mitigates the electric field in the channel, thus obtaining enhanced off-state breakdown characteristics.At the same time,only a small additional gate capacitance and decreased gate resistance ensure excellent RF characteristics for the U-gate device.U-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs are feasible through adjusting the etching conditions of an inductively coupled plasma system,without introducing any extra process steps.The simulation results are confirmed by experimental measurements.These features indicate that U-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs might be promising candidates for use in miltimeter-wave power applications. 相似文献

GaN基高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)作为栅控器件,具有AlGaN/GaN异质结处高浓度的二维电子气(2DEG)及对表面态敏感等特性,在栅位置处与感光功能薄膜的结合是光探测器领域重要的研究方向之一.本文首先提出在GaN基HEMT栅电极上引入光敏材料锆钛酸铅(PZT),将具有光伏效应的铁电薄膜PZT与HEMT栅极结合,提出一种新的"金属/铁电薄膜/金属/半导体(M/F/M/S)"结构;然后在以蓝宝石为衬底的AlGaN/GaN外延片上制备感光栅极HEMT器件.最后,通过PZT的光伏效应来调控沟道中的载流子浓度和通过源漏电流的变化来实现对可见光和紫外光的探测.在365 nm紫外光和普通可见光条件下,对比测试有/无感光栅极的HEMT器件,在较小V_(gs)电压时,可见光下测得前者较后者的饱和漏源电流I_(ds)的增幅不下降,紫外光下前者较后者的I_(ds)增幅大5.2 mA,由此可知,感光栅PZT在可见光及紫外光下可作用于栅极GaN基HEMT器件并可调控沟道电流. 相似文献

In this paper, a novel Al Ga N/Ga N HEMT with a Schottky drain and a compound field plate(SD-CFP HEMT) is presented for the purpose of better reverse blocking capability. The compound field plate(CFP) consists of a drain field plate(DFP) and several floating field plates(FFPs). The physical mechanisms of the CFP to improve the reverse breakdown voltage and to modulate the distributions of channel electric field and potential are investigated by two-dimensional numerical simulations with Silvaco-ATLAS. Compared with the HEMT with a Schottky drain(SD HEMT) and the HEMT with a Schottky drain and a DFP(SD-FP HEMT), the superiorities of SD-CFP HEMT lie in the continuous improvement of the reverse breakdown voltage by increasing the number of FFPs and in the same fabrication procedure as the SD-FP HEMT.Two useful optimization laws for the SD-CFP HEMTs are found and extracted from simulation results. The relationship between the number of the FFPs and the reverse breakdown voltage as well as the FP efficiency in SD-CFP HEMTs are discussed. The results in this paper demonstrate a great potential of CFP for enhancing the reverse blocking ability in Al Ga N/Ga N HEMT and may be of great value and significance in the design and actual manufacture of SD-CFP HEMTs. 相似文献

We demonstrated an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT)namely double-Vthcoupling HEMT(DVC-HEMT)fabricated by connecting different threshold voltage(Vth)values including the slant recess element and planar element in parallel along the gate width with N;O plasma treatment on the gate region.The comparative studies of DVC-HEMT and Fin-like HEMT fabricated on the same wafer show significantly improved linearity of transconductance(Gm)and radio frequency(RF)output signal characteristics in DVC-HEMT.The fabricated device shows the transconductance plateau larger than 7 V,which yields a flattened fT/fmax-gate bias dependence.At the operating frequency of 30 GHz,the peak power-added efficiency(PAE)of 41%accompanied by the power density(Pout)of 5.3 W/mm.Furthermore,the proposed architecture also features an exceptional linearity performance with 1-d B compression point(P1 d B)of 28 d Bm,whereas that of the Fin-like HEMT is 25.2 d Bm.The device demonstrated in this article has great potential to be a new paradigm for millimeter-wave application where high linearity is essential. 相似文献

The temperature and thermo-elastic expansion of the heated area in a high power, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device have been investigated by means of finite element calculations and scanning thermal expansion microscopy. With both procedures a hot line is located near the gate line of the transistor. To determine the absolute temperature, the thermo-elastic response was calibrated on the basis of the force–distance curve of the AFM and the thermal expansion of the gold layer on top of the heated areas. The maximum temperatures deduced by the two procedures are in reasonable agreement whereas discrepancies are found for the temperature profile of the hot line, pointing towards a possible influence of the large aspect ratio of the device on the thermo-elastic measurement. 相似文献

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

A novel Al Ga N/Ga N high electron mobility transistor(HEMT) with a source-connected T-shaped field-plate(ST-FP HEMT) is proposed for the first time in this paper. The source-connected T-shaped field-plate(ST-FP) is composed of a source-connected field-plate(S-FP) and a trench metal. The physical intrinsic mechanisms of the ST-FP to improve the breakdown voltage and the FP efficiency and to modulate the distributions of channel electric field and potential are studied in detail by means of two-dimensional numerical simulations with Silvaco-ATLAS. A comparison to the HEMT and the HEMT with an S-FP(S-FP HEMT) shows that the ST-FP HEMT could achieve a broader and more uniform channel electric field distribution with the help of a trench metal, which could increase the breakdown voltage and the FP efficiency remarkably. In addition, the relationship between the structure of the ST-FP, the channel electric field, the breakdown voltage as well as the FP efficiency in ST-FP HEMT is analyzed. These results could open up a new effective method to fabricate high voltage power devices for the power electronic applications. 相似文献

Electrical properties of Schottky- and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS)-gate SiGe/Si high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were investigated with capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. The MIS-gate HEMT structure was fabricated using a SiN gate insulator formed by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD). The Cat-CVD SiN thin film (5 nm) was found to be an effective gate insulator with good gate controllability and dielectric properties. We previously investigated device characteristics of sub-100-nm-gate-length Schottky- and MIS-gate HEMTs, and reported that the MIS-gate device had larger maximum drain current density and transconductance (gm) than the Schottky-gate device. The radio frequency (RF) measurement of the MIS-gate device, however, showed a relatively lower current gain cutoff frequency fT compared with that of the Schottky-gate device. In this study, C-V characterization of the MIS-gate HEMT structure demonstrated that two electron transport channels existed, one at the SiGe/Si buried channel and the other at the SiN/Si surface channel. 相似文献

Structural defects and their impact on the performance, lifetime and reliability of electronic devices are of permanent interest for crystal growers and device manufacturers. This is especially true for epitaxial (Al, Ga)N/GaN based high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures on 4H-SiC (0 0 0 1) substrates. This work points out how micropipes, dislocations and grain boundaries present in a 4H-SiC (0 0 0 1) wafer and subsequently overgrown with an (Al, Ga)N-GaN-HEMT layer sequence show up in X-ray topographic images and two-dimensional XRD maps. Using X-ray topography in transmission geometry, micropipes and other structural defects are localized non-destructively below structured metallization layers with a spatial resolution of a few tens of micrometers. 相似文献
