A Comparative Study on Optimized Bias Current Density Performance of Cubic ZnB-GaN with Hexagonal 4H-SiC Based Impatts
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a vivid simulated study has been made on 35 GHz Ka-band window frequency in order to judge and compare the DC and high frequency properties of cubic ZnB-GaN with the existing hexagonal 4H-SiC. A flat profile p+pnn+ DDR structure of impatt is chosen and is optimized at a particular bias current density with respect to efficiency and output power taking into consideration the effect of mobile space charge also. The simulated results obtained reveals the strong potentiality of impatts based on both cubic ZnBGaN and hexagonal 4H-SiC. The DC-to-millimeter wave conversion efficiency for cubic ZnB-GaN impatt obtained is 50% with an estimated output power of 2.83 W at an optimized bias current density of 2.5×108 A/m2. The conversion efficiency and estimated output power in case of hexagonal 4H-SiC impatt obtained is 22.34% and 40 W respectively at an optimum bias current density of 0.06×108 A/m2. Keywords—Cubic ZnB-GaN, hexagonal 4H-SiC, Double drift impatt diode, millimeter wave, optimized bias current density, wide band gap semiconductor.

متن کاملAdvances in the molecular-beam epitaxial growth of artificially layered heteropolytypic structures of SiC
The controlled growth of SiC heteropolytypic structures consisting of hexagonal and cubic polytypes has been performed by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. On on-axis substrates, 4H/3C/4H–SiC~0001! and 6H/3C/6H–SiC~0001! structures were obtained by first growing the 3C–SiC layer some nanometer thick at lower substrate temperatures (T51550 K) and Si-rich conditions and a subsequent growth of ...
متن کاملGrowth of hexagonal GaN thin films on Si(1 1 1) with cubic SiC buffer layers
The growth of GaN films on silicon or sapphire substrates has not been straightforward due to their large mismatch ('13%). SiC is structurally the closest material to GaN (especially cubic form) and has a small lattice mismatch (3.5%) between SiC and GaN, and therefore can be useful as the substrate for GaN. Single-crystal wafers of cubic SiC and GaN, however, are hard to obtain and have not be...

We have investigated the growth conditions of cubic GaN (β-GaN) layers on very thin SiC-covered Si(001) by using gas-source molecular beam epitaxy as functions of SiC layer thickness, Ga-cell temperature and substrate temperature. Under the present SiC formation conditions on Si substrates by carbonization using C2H2 gas, the SiC layers with the thickness between 2.5 and 4 nm result in the epit...
متن کاملMatrix-dependent structure of GeSi nanocrystals in SiC.
It is shown experimentally that GeSi nanocrystals in SiC created after high-dose Ge ion implantation and high-temperature annealing are hexagonal in a hexagonal 4H-SiC matrix and are of cubic structure in a cubic 3C-SiC matrix. This interesting fact could be explained by molecular dynamics as the force of the system nanocrystal-matrix to minimize its interface energy.
