Simulation of InAlAs/InGaAs High Electron Mobility Transistors with a Single Set of Physical Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulation results of InAlAs/InGaAs High Electron Mobility Transistors based on both GaAs and InP substrates are presented using the two-dimensional device simulator MINIMOS-NT. Three different HEMT technologies are evaluated by simulation and a single set of physical parameters is verified. The critical interaction of selfheating, impact ionization, SiN surface effects, and material composition is incorporated, which renders the simulation results suitable for the evaluation of device reliability issues. Starting from the analysis of gate-currents the simulation model can quantitatively support the basic understanding of this advanced material system.

Reliability and degradation mechanism of AlGaAs/InGaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs
The long-term stability of AlGaAs/GaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), tested under high drain voltage and/or high temperature operation is reported. HEMTs with high In content in the active channel, alternatively fabricated on InP substrates and on GaAs substrates covered by a metamorphic buffer (MHEMT), are compared. Despite the high dislocation density in the bu...

This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterisation of InGaAs–InAlAs high electron mobility transistors (pHEMTs) suitable for low-frequency LNA designs. Very low levels of leakage, in the order of 0.05A/cm, are demonstrated by the pHEMTs, which have enabled the implementation of large-geometry, low-noise devices. Transistors with gate widths ranging from 200mm to 1.2mm are demonstr...
