成核层形貌对AlGaN/GaN异质结晶体质量，表面形貌以及电学特性的影响

Nucleation layer formation is a key factor for high quality gallium nitride（GaN）growth on a sapphire substrate.We found that the growth rate substantially affected the nucleation layer morphology,thereby having a great impact on the crystal quality,surface morphology and electrical properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on sapphire substrates.A nucleation layer with a low growth rate of 2.5 nm/min is larger and has better coalescence than one grown at a high growth rate of 5 nm/min.AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on a nucleation layer with low growth rate have better crystal quality,surface morphology and electrical properties.     

AlGaN/GaN HEMT中电场分布的ATLAS模拟

表面态对AlGaN/GaN异质结构中二维电子气的影响

基于静电学分析,得出表面态是电子的一个重要来源.基于这一分析,可以解释已发表的关于二维电子气(2DEC)的大量数据.例如,2DEG密度随着AlGaN层厚度、Al组分的变化的原因.当A10.3Ga0.7N/GaN结构中生长一层5 nm厚的GaN冒层时,2DEG浓度由1.47×1013cm-2减少到1.20×1013cm-2,减少是由于表面类施主态离化减少.由于充分厚的GaN冒层导致GaN/AlGaN/GaN上界面形成二维空穴气(2DHG),所以在超出特定的冒层厚度时2DEG浓度达到饱和.

Mg掺杂的AlGaN的MOCVD生长

文章主要研究利用金属有机物化学汽相沉积(MOCVD)方法制备的Mg掺杂AlGaN薄膜。根据Raman光谱对Mg掺杂AlGaN薄膜应力和X射线摇摆曲线对晶体质量的研究表明引入高温AlN插入层能有效调节应力，并提高薄膜质量，降低位错密度。实验发现在保持Mg掺杂量不变的情况下，随着Al组分的上升，材料中出现大量岛状晶核，粗糙度变大，晶体质量下降，由三维生长向二维生长的转变更加困难。同时研究发现Al组分的上升和Mg掺杂量的增加都会使得螺位错密度上升;Mg的掺杂对于刃位错有显著影响，而Al组分的上升对刃位错无明显影响。经过退火温度对空穴浓度影响的研究，发现对于P型Al0.1Ga0.9N样品，900℃为比较理想的退火温度。     

Ka波段AlGaN/GaN HEMT栅结构仿真研究

为了研究适合Ka波段AlGaN/GaN HEMT的栅结构尺寸,借助二维器件仿真软件Silvaco Atlas,在完善仿真模型的基础上研究了Γ型栅各部分对AlGaN/GaN HEMT特性的影响,包括栅长与短沟道效应的关系、栅与沟道距离对短沟道效应和饱和漏电流的影响,以及栅金属厚度对fmax,栅场板对fT、fmax和内部电场的影响。根据典型器件结构和材料参数的仿真表明,为了提高频率并减轻短沟道效应,栅长应取0.15～0.25μm;减小栅与沟道的距离可略微改善短沟道效应,但会明显降低器件的饱和漏电流,综合考虑栅调制能力、饱和漏电流、短沟道效应三个方面,栅与沟道距离应取10～20nm;为了提高fmax,栅金属厚度应大于0.4μm;缩小栅场板长度可有效提高器件的频率,兼顾Ka波段应用和提高击穿电压,栅场板长度应在0.3～0.4μm左右。仿真得出的器件性能随结构参数的变化趋势以及尺寸数据对于Ka波段AlGaN/GaN HEMT的研究具有参考意义。
