Time delay analysis in high speed gate-recessed E-mode InAlN HEMTs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delay analysis providing an alternative physical explanation on carrier transport, which may be more applicable to high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) channels with moderate carrier mobilities, has been applied to enhancement-mode (E-mode) and depletion-mode (D-mode) InAlN/AlN/GaN HEMTs with comparable fT at room and cryogenic temperatures. It was found that the speed of the E-mode HEMTs with 33-nm long T-gate is dominated by parasitic delays, >40% of the total delay; channel mobility might have degraded due to gate recess. ! 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Gate-Recessed InAlN/GaN HEMTs on SiC Substrate With Al2O3 Passivation
We studied submicrometer (LG = 0.15−0.25 μm) gate-recessed InAlN/AlN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on SiC substrates with 25-nm Al2O3 passivation. The combination of a low-damage gate-recess technology and the low sheet resistance of the InAlN/AlN/GaN structure resulted in HEMTs with a maximum dc output current density of IDS,max = 1.5 A/mm and a record peak extrinsic transcond...

In this work, we study the scaling characteristics of In0.17Al0.83N/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). Scaling of both the DC and RF performance are studied as a function of InAlN thickness, gate recess and gate length to explore the design space of high frequency InAlN/GaN devices. Surface passivation by Al2O3 deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD) is also investigated as a...
