چکیده
AlN/GaN single heterojunction MOS-HEMTs grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been fabricated utilising HfO2 high-K dielectrics deposited by atomic layer deposition. Typical DC transfer characteristics of 1.3 mm gate length devices show a maximum drain current of 950 mA/mm and a transconductance of 210 mS/mm with gate currents of 5 mA/mm in pinch-off. Unity gain cutoff frequencies, ft and fmax, were measured to be 9 and 32 GHz, respectively.

8.3 High-Performance Normally-off GaN MIS-HEMTs with Dual Gate Insulator employing PEALD SiNx Interfacial Layer and RF-sputtered HfO2
To fabricate high-performance GaN MIS-HEMTs, we have employed a novel SiNx/HfO2 dual gate insulator. A PEALD technique was used for very thin high quality SiNx (5 nm) as an interfacial layer, followed by RFsputtered HfO2 as a high-k dielectric for the second gate insulator structure. As a result, we have achieved excellent characteristics such as small subthreshold slope of 85 mV/dec, extremely...
متن کاملThreshold Voltage Control in Al0.72Ga0.28N/AlN/GaN HEMTs by Work-Function Engineering
The first demonstration of high-Al-composition (> 70%) AlGaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is reported. High electron mobility (∼1300 cm/Vs at room temperature) was achieved in novel high-Al-composition AlGaN 2-D electron gas structures. The threshold voltages (Vth) of Al0.72Ga0.28N/AlN/GaN HEMTs were shifted from −1.0 to −0.13 V by employing different gate metal stacks, Al/Au and ...

Recently, AlN plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) passivation technique had been proposed and investigated for suppressing the dynamic on-resistance degradation behavior of high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). In this paper, a novel gate dielectric and passivation technique for GaN-on-Si AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MISHEMTs) is pr...

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...

We report 30-nm-gate-length InAlN/AlN/GaN/SiC high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) with a record current gain cutoff frequency (fT ) of 370 GHz. The HEMT without back barrier exhibits an extrinsic transconductance (gm.ext) of 650 mS/mm and an on/off current ratio of 10 owing to the incorporation of dielectric-free passivation and regrown ohmic contacts with a contact resistance of 0.16 Ω ...
