Recessed-gate quasi-enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors with oxygen plasma treatment

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.     

Analysis of the modulation mechanisms of the electric field and breakdown performance in AlGaN/GaN HEMT with a T-shaped field-plate

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.

The study on mechanism and model of negative bias temperature instability degradation in P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors

Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has become one of the most serious reliability problems of metal- oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The degradation mechanism and model of NBTI are studied in this paper. From the experimental results, the exponential value 0.25-0.5 which represents the relation of NBTI degradation and stress time is obtained. Based on the experimental results and existing model, the reaction-diffusion model with H+ related species generated is deduced, and the exponent 0.5 is obtained. The results suggest that there should be H+ generated in the NBTI degradation. With the real time method, the degradation with an exponent 0.5 appears clearly in drain current shift during the first seconds of stress and then verifies that H+ generated during NBTI stress.     

Study on the negative bias temperature instability effect under dynamic stress

This paper studies negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) under alternant and alternating current (AC) stress.Under alternant stress,the degradation smaller than that of single negative stress is obtained.The smaller degradation is resulted from the recovery of positive stress.There are two reasons for the recovery.One is the passivation of H dangling bonds,and another is the detrapping of charges trapped in the oxide.Under different frequencies of AC stress,the parameters all show regular degradation,and also smaller than that of the direct current stress.The higher the frequency is,the smaller the degradation becomes.As the negative stress time is too small under higher frequency,the deeper defects are hard to be filled in.Therefore,the detrapping of oxide charges is easy to occur under positive bias and the degradation is smaller with higher frequency.     

各Li吸附组分下硅烯氢存储性能的第一性原理研究

利用Li原子对硅烯进行表面修饰是提高硅烯氢存储能力的一种有效方法.为了充分挖掘Li修饰硅烯的氢存储性能,本文采用范德瓦耳斯作用修正的第一性原理计算方法,对不同Li吸附组分下硅烯的结构、稳定性和氢存储能力进行了研究.研究结果表明,硅烯体系能够在Li组分从0.11增加到0.50时保持稳定,其最大储氢量随Li组分的增加而增大,氢气平均吸附能则存在减小趋势;当Li组分达到0.50而饱和时,硅烯体系具有最大的储氢量,相应的质量储氢密度为11.46 wt%,平均吸附能为0.34 eV/H2,远高于美国能源部设定的储氢标准,表明提高Li组分甚至使其达到饱和在理论上能有效提高Li修饰硅烯的储氢性能.此外,通过对Mulliken电荷布居、差分电荷密度和态密度的分析,发现Li修饰硅烯的储氢机制与电荷转移诱导的静电相互作用和轨道杂化作用有关.研究结果可为Li修饰硅烯在未来氢存储领域的应用提供理论指导.     

Improvement of reverse blocking performance in vertical power MOSFETs with Schottky–drain-connected semisuperjunctions

To enhance the reverse blocking capability with low specific on-resistance,a novel vertical metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) with a Schottky-drian(SD) and SD-connected semisuperjunctions(SDD-semi-SJ),named as SD-D-semi-SJ MOSFET is proposed and demonstrated by two-dimensional(2D) numerical simulations.The SD contacted with the n-pillar exhibits the Schottky-contact property,and that with the p-pillar the Ohmic-contact property.Based on these features,the SD-D-semi-SJ MOSFET could obviously overcome the great obstacle of the ineffectivity of the conventional superjunctions(SJ) or semisuperjunctions(semi-SJ) for the reverse applications and achieve a satisfactory trade-off between the reverse breakdown voltage(BV) and the specific on-resistance(R_(on)A).For a given pillar width and n-drift thickness,there exists a proper range of n-drift concentration(N),in which the SD-D-semi-SJ MOSFET could exhibit a better trade-off of R_(on)A-BV compared to the predication of SJ MOSFET in the forward applications.And what is much valuable,in this proper range of N,the desired BV and good trade-off could be achieved only by determining the pillar thickness,with the top assist layer thickness unchanged.Detailed analyses have been carried out to get physical insights into the intrinsic mechanism of R_(on)A-BV improvement in SD-D-semi-SJ MOSFET.These results demonstrate a great potential of SD-D-semi-SJ MOSFET in reverse applications.
