Status of the Emerging InAlN/GaN Power HEMT Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The InAlN/GaN heterojunction appears to be a new alternative to the common AlGaN/GaN configuration with higher sheet charge density and higher thermal stability, promising very high power and temperature performance as well as robustness. This new system opens up the possibility to scale the barrier down to 5 nm while maintaining nearly its ideal materials and device properties. The status, focussing on the lattice matched materials configuration, is reviewed.

We study the concept of double-heterostructure quantum well (DHQW) InAlN/GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) for higher device robustness and less degradation. Physics-based device simulation proves that the back barrier blocks the carrier injection into the device buffer. However, the energy of the injected electrons in the buffer is higher for any quantum well design in InAlN/G...
