Study of the leakage current suppression for hybrid-Schottky/ohmic drain AlGaN/GaN HEMT

The leakage current suppression mechanism in AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) is investigated. It is known that leakage current can cause severe reliability problems for HEMT devices and conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices suffer from detrimental off-state drain leakage current issues, especially under high off-state drain bias. Therefore, a leakage current suppression technique featuring hybrid-Schottky/ohmic-drain contact is discussed. Through the 2-zones leakage current suppression mechanism by the hybrid-Schottky/drain metal including the shielding effect of the rough ohmic-drain metal morphology and the drain side electric field modulation, AlGaN/GaN HEMT featuring this novel technique can significantly enhance the leakage current suppression capability and improve the breakdown voltage. An analytical method using loop-voltage-scanning is proposed to illustrate the optimization procedure of the hybrid-Schottky/ohmic drain metallization on leakage current suppression. Through the comparison of the loop leakage current hysteresis of conventional ohmic drain HEMT and hybrid-Schottky/ohmic drain, the leakage current suppression mechanism is verified through the leakage current considering surface acceptor-like trap charging/discharging model. Device featuring the hybrid-Schottky/ohmic drain technique shows an improvement in breakdown voltage from 450 V (with no Schottky drain metal) to 855 V with a total drift region length of 9 μm, indicating enhanced off-state reliability characteristics for the AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices.

High-performance enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using fluoride-based plasma treatment

We report a novel approach in fabricating high-performance enhancement mode (E-mode) AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. The fabrication technique is based on fluoride-based plasma treatment of the gate region in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs and post-gate rapid thermal annealing with an annealing temperature lower than 500/spl deg/C. Starting with a conventional depletion-mode HEMT sample, we found that fluoride-based plasma treatment can effectively shift the threshold voltage from -4.0 to 0.9 V. Most importantly, a zero transconductance (g/sub m/) was obtained at V/sub gs/=0 V, demonstrating for the first time true E-mode operation in an AlGaN/GaN HEMT. At V/sub gs/=0 V, the off-state drain leakage current is 28 /spl mu/A/mm at a drain-source bias of 6 V. The fabricated E-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with 1 /spl mu/m-long gate exhibit a maximum drain current density of 310 mA/mm, a peak g/sub m/ of 148 mS/mm, a current gain cutoff frequency f/sub T/ of 10.1 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency f/sub max/ of 34.3 GHz.     

RF and microwave characteristics of a 10 nm thick InGaN-channel gate recessed HEMT

A new depletion-mode gate recessed AlGaN/InGaN/GaN-high electron mobility transistor(HEMT)with 10 nm thickness of InGaN-channel is proposed.A growth of AlGaN over GaN leads to the formation of twodimensional electron gas(2DEG)at the heterointerface.High 2DEG density(ns)is achieved at the heterointerface due to a strain induced piezoelectric effect between AlGaN and GaN layers.The electrons are confined in the InGaN-channel without spilling over into the buffer layer,which also reduces the buffer leakage current.From the input transfer characteristics the threshold voltage is obtained as 4:5 V and the device conducts a current of 2 A/mm at a drain voltage of 10 V.The device also shows a maximum output current density of 1.8 A/mm at Vds of 3 V.The microwave characteristics like transconductance,cut-off frequency,max frequency of oscillation and Mason’s Unilateral Gain of the device are studied by AC small-signal analysis using a two-port network.The stability and power performance of the device are analyzed by the Smith chart and polar plots respectively.To our knowledge this proposed InGaN-channel HEMT structure is the first of its kind.

The device with a gate length of 1.4 μm and a gate width of 60 μm demonstrated maximum drain current density of 304 mA/mm, transconductance of 124 mS/mm and reverse gate leakage current of 0.76 μA/mm at the gate voltage of −10 V.
