چکیده
Abstract The fabrication and I-V characteristics of the novel AlGaN/GaN field effect diode are reported. This diode has a distinguishing anode structure and the relatively thick AlGaN barrier layer in contrast a conventional field-effect Schottky barrier diode (FESBD). By using fluoride-based plasma treatment, we could reduce its turn-on voltage to 0 V and decrease its leakage current at the reverse voltages.

Enhancement-Mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Low On-Resistance and Low Knee-Voltage
Based on fluoride-based plasma treatment of the gate region in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs and post-gate rapid thermal annealing (RTA), enhancement mode (E-mode) AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with low on-resistance and low knee-voltage were fabricated. The fabricated E-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMT with 1 μm-long gate exhibits a threshold voltage of 0.9 V, a kneevoltage of 2.2 V, a maximum drain current density of 310 mA/mm, a pe...
متن کاملAlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes Employing Diamond-like Carbon passivation
AlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) employing the Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) passivation was proposed. The reverse blocking characteristics of the AlGaN/GaN SBD is degraded by the electron trapping effect through the surface trap states. In order to suppress the electron trapping effect and increase the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN SBDs, the surface passivation or treatment should be perf...

Phase pure cubic (c-) GaN/AlGaN heterostructures on 3CSiC free standing (001) substrates have successfully been developed. Almost complete (100%) phase pure c-GaN films are achieved with 2-nm surface roughness on 3C-SiC substrate and stoichiometric growth conditions. The polarization effect in c-GaN/AlGaN has been evaluated, based on measuring the transition energy of GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (Q...

Internal polarizations field which take place in quantum structures of group-III nitrides have an important consequence on their optical properties. Optical properties of wurtzite AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures grown by MBE and MOCVD on c-plane sapphire substrates have been investigated by means of photoluminescence (PL) and time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) at low-temperature. PL ...
