Modeling and Characterization of In0.12al0.88n/gan Hemts at Elevated Temperatures

چکیده
Promising material properties of GaN, e.g., wide bandgap, high saturation velocity, and high thermal stability, make it an excellent material for high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature applications. For some specific applications which require the device to operate at elevated temperatures, modeling and simulation provide very meaningful insights about the thermal device behavior. In this work, the DC device behaviour at 300K and at elevated temperatures is studied, both experimentally and by means of two-dimensional device simulations. Very good agreement between the measurements and the simulation results with Minimos-NT is achieved using the hydrodynamic transport model including selfheating and carefully tuned impact ionization effects.

متن کاملMaterial and device issues of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on silicon substrates
Selected material and device issues related to the performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on (111) Si substrates are reported. It is shown that these devices can sustain significantly higher dc power (16 W/mm) than those grown on sapphire. Consequently smaller degradation in the device performance at higher temperatures (up to 400 8C) is demonstrated. Photoionisation spectroscopy reveals trap level of ...
متن کاملEffect of sputtered SiN passivation on current collapse of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
The effects of sputtered SiN on current collapse of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs have been studied. The current collapse in terms of dynamic on-state resistance was reduced with increasing SiN deposition and post annealing temperatures due to the reduction of SiN/AlGaN interface trap density. These results indicate that sputtered SiN with deposition temperature at 250 °C is a promising candidate for passiva...
