SOI器件的kink效应研究北大核心

研究了SOI器件中的kink效应,主要包括不同器件类型、不同体接触结构、沟道长度以及栅氧厚度对kink效应的影响。研究发现NMOS器件由于能够产生较多的电子空穴对,在输出特性曲线中呈现明显的kink效应,而PMOS器件由于空穴的电离率较低,碰撞电离产生的电子-空穴对远低于NMOS器件,它的kink效应不明显。对源体短接、H型栅和T型栅三种不同结构的NMOS器件进行研究,发现T型栅器件kink效应最明显。比较了不同沟道长度对kink效应的影响,发现沟道越短,kink效应越明显。比较了栅氧厚度对kink效应的影响,发现随着栅氧厚度减小,kink效应越明显,这主要是由于隧穿电流引起的。     

AlGaN/GaN HEMT凹栅槽结构器件的频率特性

采用一系列不同栅长和结构的T型栅器件来研究凹栅槽结构抑制短沟道效应和提高频率特性的作用.随着栅长不断缩短,短沟道效应逐渐明显,栅长从300 nm缩短至100 nm时,亚阈值摆幅逐渐增大,栅对沟道载流子的控制变弱,且器件出现软夹断现象.凹栅槽结构可以降低器件的亚阈值接幅,提高开关比,栅长100 nm常规结构器件的亚阈值摆幅为140 mV/dec,开关比为106,而凹栅槽结构器件的亚阈值摆幅下降为95 mV/dec,开关比增大为107,凹栅槽结构明显抑制了短沟道效应.在漏源电压为20 V时,100 nm栅长的凹栅槽结构器件的截止频率和最高振荡频率达到了65.9和191 GHz,同常规结构相比,分别提高了5.78％和4.49％.由于凹栅槽结构缩短了栅金属到二维电子气(2DEG)沟道的间距,增大了纵横比,所以能够改善器件的频率特性.

Improved temperature model of AlGaN/GaN HEMT and device characteristics at variant temperature

In this paper, an improved temperature model for AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is presented. Research is being conducted for a high-performance building block for high frequency applications that combine lower costs with improved performance and manufacturability. The effects of channel conductance in the saturation region and the parasitic resistance due to the undoped GaN buffer layer have been included. The effect of both spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization induced charges at the AlGaN/GaN heterointerface has been incorporated. The proposed model is used to determine the transfer characteristics, output current-voltage characteristics and small-signal microwave parameters of HEMTs. The investigated temperature range is from 100–600 K. The small signal microwave parameters have been evaluated to determine the unity current gain cut-off frequency (f _T ). High f _T (10–70 GHz) values and high current levels (～550 mA/mm) are achieved for a 1 μm AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. A custom DC measurement system is used to facilitate the DC characterization of the unpackaged GaN HEMT test device. The calculated critical parameters and the simulation results suggest that the performance of the proposed device degrades at elevated temperatures.

采用AlN/SiNx钝化的高性能AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

两种不同的钝化层结构被应用到势垒层厚度为12 nm的AlGa/GaN 高电子迁移率场效应晶体管中。首先采用等离子增强原子层沉积(PEALD)技术生长5 nm的AlN薄膜,然后再覆盖50 nm的等离子增强化学气相淀积(PECVD)生长的SiNx。相比于传统的SiNx钝化,AlN钝化层的插入更有效地抑制了电流崩塌效应,同时获得了小的亚阈值斜率(SS)。AlN钝化层的插入增大了器件的射频跨导从而获得了较高的截止频率。另外,通过变温直流特性测试发现,AlN/SiNx钝化的器件在高温时饱和电流和最大跨导的衰退相对于仅采用SiNx钝化的器件都要小,表明AlN钝化层的插入改善了器件的高温稳定性。     

Parasitic effects and long term stability of InP-based HEMTs

A study of InP based HEMTs implemented with different process options will be reported. It will be demonstrated that devices with an InP etch stopper layer or with a narrow lateral gate recess region do not present any kink effect, neither any transconductance frequency dispersion, g_m(f) and a stable behavior with respect to hot electron aging is observed. The opposite occurs in devices without the InP etch stopper layer and a wide lateral gate recess region. The data presented confirm the effectiveness of an InP passivating layer in improving the reliability of advanced InP-HEMTs, and point out at the free InAlAs surface as responsible for the observed instabilities (kink effects, g_m(f) dispersion).

Examination of the kink effect in InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMTs using sinusoidal and transient excitation

The kink effect in InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMTs is examined in the frequency domain using sinusoidal excitation and in the time domain using voltage pulses applied to the drain of the devices. With the sinusoidal excitation below the kink voltage, two prominent output-resistance frequency-response transitions attributed to traps in the InAlAs or its interfaces were found. These transitions were examined as functions of temperature and yielded trap activation energies near 0.18 and 0.56 eV. Above the kink voltage, a single, broad transition with an activation energy near 0.24 eV was found. Using incremental voltage pulses applied to the drain, a convenient kink signature was obtained. With large voltage pulses which span the kink region, a complex nonexponential transient response was observed due to concurrent capture and emission mechanisms. HEMTs with single- and double-recessed gate structures were found to have similar output resistance dispersion characteristics.<>     

Low-Voltage and High-Speed Operations of 30-nm-Gate Pseudomorphic $hbox{In}_{0.52}hbox{Al}_{0.48}hbox{As}/hbox{In}_{0.7}hbox{Ga}_{0.3} hbox{As}$ HEMTs Under Cryogenic Conditions

In this letter, we fabricated 30-nm-gate pseudomorphic In_0.52 Al_0.48As/In_0.7Ga_0.3As HEMTs with multilayer cap structures to reduce source and drain parasitic resistances; we measured their dc and radio-frequency characteristics at 300, 77, and 16 K under various bias conditions. The maximum cutoff frequency fT was 498 GHz at 300 K and 577 GHz at 77 K. The maximum fT exceeded 600 GHz at 16 K. Even at a drain-source voltage V _ds of 0.4 V, we obtained an fT of 500 GHz at 16 K. This indicates that cryogenic HEMTs are favorable for low-voltage and high-speed operations. Furthermore, the present 30-nm-gate HEMTs at 300 K show almost the same fT values at the same dc-power dissipation as compared to 85-nm-gate InSb-channel HEMTs. The improvement of the maximum-oscillation-frequency f _max values was also observed at 77 and 16 K.     

A new two-dimensional C-V model for prediction of maximum frequency of oscillation (fmax) of deep submicron AlGaN/GaN HEMT for microwave and millimeter wave applications

An analytical two-dimensional capacitance-voltage model for AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMTs) is developed, which is valid from a linear to saturation region. The gate source and gate drain capacitances are calculated for 120 nm gate length including the effects of fringing field capacitances. We obtain a cut-off frequency (f_T) of 120 GHz and maximum frequency of oscillations (f_max) of 160 GHz. The model is very useful for microwave circuit design and analysis. Additionally, these devices allow a high operating voltage V_DS, which is demonstrated in the present analysis. These results show an excellent agreement when compared with the experimental data.
