氮化镓HEMT器件辐射效应综述

在高频、大功率、高温、高压等领域,氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)器件因其优异的耐辐射性能而被广泛地应用于卫星、太空探测、核反应堆等领域。尽管从理论和一些试验研究中可以得知,氮化镓材料具有良好的耐辐射特性,但在实际应用中,因其制作工艺及结构等因素的影响,氮化镓HEMT器件的耐辐射特性受到了很大的影响和挑战。本文介绍了氮化镓HEMT器件几种辐射效应,并对氮化镓HEMT器件辐射的研究进行了综述。     

Fluorine-plasma treated AlGaN/GaN high electronic mobility transistors under off-state overdrive stress

Influences of off-state overdrive stress on the fluorine-plasma treated AlGaN/GaN high-electronic mobility transistors (HEMTs) are experimentally investigated. It is observed that the reverse leakage current between the gate and source decreases after the off-state stress, whereas the current between the gate and drain increases. By analyzing those changes of the reverse currents based on the Frenkel-Poole model, we realize that the ionization of fluorine ions occurs during the off-state stress. Furthermore, threshold voltage degradation is also observed after the off-state stress, but the degradations of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs treated with different F-plasma RF powers are different. By comparing the differences between those devices, we find that the F-ions incorporated in the GaN buffer layer play an important role in averting degradation. Lastly, suggestions to obtain a more stable fluorine-plasma treated AlGaN/GaN HEMT are put forwarded.     

HEMT器件质子辐射效应仿真

GaN基高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)器件具有抗高频、耐高温、大功率、抗辐射等特性,在核反应堆、宇宙探测等辐射环境中具有广阔的应用前景。借助SRIM软件仿真1.8 MeV质子辐射对不同AlGaN势垒层纵向尺寸下的常规耗尽型器件内部产生空位密度的影响,并观察空位密度随深度的变化规律。在最优AlGaN势垒层厚度条件下,通过仿真对比5种不同栅氧层材料的MIS-HEMT器件,发现氮化铝(AlN)栅氧层材料具有相对较好的抗辐射效果。
