Structural properties of alloyed Ti/Al/Ti/Au and Ti/Al/Mo/Au ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN

Two alloyed ohmic contact structures for AlGaN/GaN–Ti/Al/Ti/Au and Ti/Al/Mo/Au were studied. Both structures were optimized for minimum ohmic contact resistance. Structures grown on sapphire and SiC substrates were used to investigate structural properties of ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN. Ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN on SiC showed higher contact resistance values compared to contacts to AlGaN/GaN on sapphire. Ohmic contact metals were etched on samples after annealing. The alloyed interface was studied with backside illumination under an optical microscope. Alloyed inclusions associated with threading dislocations were observed on the surface. For the AlGaN/GaN on SiC sample the inclusion density was an order of magnitude lower than for the sample on sapphire. Conductive atomic force microscopy with carbon nanotube tip was used to investigate topography and conductivity profile of the surface after ohmic contact metal removal by etching.

Plasma Treatment for Leakage Reduction in AlGaN/GaN and GaN Schottky Contacts

It has been found that the reverse leakage current of AlGaN/GaN Schottky contacts can be significantly reduced by a CF₄ plasma treatment prior to the Schottky metal evaporation. The data of electrical characterization suggest that the leakage reduction is related to the modification of the semiconductor surface by plasma treatment. The leakage reduction effect was also observed in GaN Schottky contacts. Capacitance-voltage characterization of the GaN Schottky contacts indicates that the Schottky barrier height was slightly increased by the plasma treatment. A two-step surface treatment procedure, consisting of a BCI₃ plasma treatment followed by a brief CF₄ plasma treatment, has been developed as an efficient approach to reduce the reverse leakage of the Schottky contacts, while avoiding side effects related to the CF₄ plasma.     

Post-process thermal treatment for microwave power improvement of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

The effects of post-process rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment after device fabrication on direct current, microwave and power performances of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with a gate-length of 0.2 μm were fully investigated. By 3 min post-process RTA treatment at 350 °C under N₂ atmosphere, the direct current (DC), radio frequency (RF) small signal and power performances of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs have been much improved. The output power, power gain and power added efficiency (PAE) of GaN HEMT device with gate wide of 1 mm increase from 37.09 dBm, 6.09 dB and 42.79% to 38.22 dBm, 7.22 dB and 67.3%. The post-process RTA after device fabrication has two merits. On the one hand, it improves passivation effect of SiN_x dielectric layer on AlGaN/GaN HEMT surface, suppressing RF current dispersion. On the other hand, it helps recover dry-etch damage at the Schottky metal/AlGaN interface, leading to reduction of reverse Schottky leakage current.

By comparison with companion devices with conventional Ti/Al/Pt/Au Ohmic contacts and Pt/Au gate contacts, the HEMTs with boride-based Ohmic metal and either Pt/Au, Ni/Au or Ni/TiB₂/Au gate metal showed superior stability of both source-drain current and transconductance after 25 days aging at 350°C.
