DC and RF Characteristics of AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN Double-Heterojunction HEMTs

We present the detailed dc and radio-frequency characteristics of an Al_0.3Ga_0.7N/GaN/In_0.1Ga_0.9 N/GaN double-heterojunction HEMT (DH-HEMT) structure. This structure incorporates a thin (3 nm) In_0.1Ga_0.9N notch layer inserted at a location that is 6-nm away from the AlGaN/GaN heterointerface. The In_0.1Ga_0.9N layer provides a unique piezoelectric polarization field which results in a higher potential barrier at the backside of the two-dimensional electron gas channel, effectively improving the carrier confinement and then reducing the buffer leakage. Both depletion-mode (D-mode) and enhancement-mode (E-mode) devices were fabricated on this new structure. Compared with the baseline AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, the DH-HEMT shows lower drain leakage current. The gate leakage current is also found to be reduced, owing to an improved surface morphology in InGaN-incorporated epitaxial structures. DC and small- and large-signal microwave characteristics, together with the linearity performances, have been investigated. The channel transit delay time analysis also revealed that there was a minor channel in the InGaN layer in which the electrons exhibited a mobility slightly lower than the GaN channel. The E-mode DH-HEMTs were also fabricated using our recently developed CF₄-based plasma treatment technique. The large-signal operation of the E-mode GaN-based HEMTs was reported for the first time. At 2 GHz, a 1times100 mum E-mode device demonstrated a maximum output power of 3.12 W/mm and a power-added efficiency of 49% with single-polarity biases (a gate bias of +0.5 V and a drain bias of 35 V). An output third-order interception point of 34.7 dBm was obtained in the E-mode HEMTs

DC and RF characteristics of enhancement-mode InAIN/GaN HEMT with fluorine treatment

We report an enhancement-mode InA1N/GaN HEMT using a fluorine plasma treatment. The threshold voltage was measured to be ＋0.86 V by linear extrapolation from the transfer characteristics. The transconductance is 0 mS/mm at Vc, s = 0 V and VDS = 5 V, which shows a truly normal-offstate. The gate leakage current density of the enhancement-mode device shows two orders of magnitude lower than that of the depletion-mode device. The transfer characteristics of the E-mode InA1N/GaN HEMT at room temperature and high temperature are reported. The current gain cut-off frequency （fT） and the maximum oscillation frequency （fmax） of the enhancement-mode device with a gate length of 0.3 #m were 29.4 GHz and 37.6 GHz respectively, which is comparable with the depletion-mode device. A classical 16 elements small-signal model was deduced to describe the parasitic and the intrinsic parameters of the device.

DC and RF characteristics of E-mode Ga/sub 0.51/In/sub 0.49/P-In/sub 0.15/Ga/sub 0.85/As pseudomorphic HEMTs

The DC and RF characteristics of Ga/sub 0.49/In/sub 0.51/P-In/sub 0.15/Ga/sub 0.85/As enhancement- mode pseudomorphic HEMTs (pHEMTs) are reported for the first time. The transistor has a gate length of 0.8 /spl mu/m and a gate width of 200 /spl mu/m. It is found that the device can be operated with gate voltage up to 1.6 V, which corresponds to a high drain-source current (I/sub DS/) of 340 mA/mm when the drain-source voltage (V/sub DS/) is 4.0 V. The measured maximum transconductance, current gain cut-off frequency, and maximum oscillation frequency are 255.2 mS/mm, 20.6 GHz, and 40 GHz, respectively. When this device is operated at 1.9 GHz under class-AB bias condition, a 14.7-dBm (148.6 mW/mm) saturated power with a power-added efficiency of 50% is achieved when the drain voltage is 3.5 V.

Application of GaAs Discrete p‐HEMTs in Low Cost Phase Shifters and QPSK Modulators

The application of a discrete pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p‐HEMT) as a grounded switch allows for the development of low cost phase shifters and phase modulators operating in a Ku band. This fills the gap in the development of phase control devices comprising p‐i‐n diodes and microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). This paper describes a discrete p‐HEMT characterization and modeling in switching mode as well as the development of a low‐cost four‐bit phase shifter and direct quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator. The developed devices operate in a Ku band with parameters comparable to commercially available MMIC counterparts. Both of them are CMOS compatible and have no power consumption. The parameters of the QPSK modulator are very close to the requirements of available standards for satellite earth stations.

Analysis of DC and analog/RF performance on Cyl-GAA-TFET using distinct device geometry

In this paper, analysis of DC and analog/RF performance on cylindrical gate-all-around tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) has been made using distinct device geometry. Firstly, performance parameters of GAA-TFET are analyzed in terms of drain current, gate capacitances, transconductance, source-drain conductance at different radii and channel length. Furthermore, we also produce the geometrical analysis towards the optimized investigation of radio frequency parameters like cut-off frequency, maximum oscillation frequency and gain bandwidth product using a 3D technology computer-aided design ATLAS. Due to band-to-band tunneling based current mechanism unlike MOSFET, gate-bias dependence values as primary parameters of TFET differ. We also analyze that the maximum current occurs when radii of Si is around 8 nm due to high gate controllability over channel with reduced fringing effects and also there is no change in the current of TFET on varying its length from 100 to 40 nm. However current starts to increase when channel length is further reduced for 40 to 30 nm. Both of these trades-offs affect the RF performance of the device.     

DC and analog/RF performance optimisation of source pocket dual work function TFET

We investigate a systematic study of source pocket tunnel field-effect transistor (SP TFET) with dual work function of single gate material by using uniform and Gaussian doping profile in the drain region for ultra-low power high frequency high speed applications. For this, a n⁺ doped region is created near the source/channel junction to decrease the depletion width results in improvement of ON-state current. However, the dual work function of the double gate is used for enhancement of the device performance in terms of DC and analog/RF parameters. Further, to improve the high frequency performance of the device, Gaussian doping profile is considered in the drain region with different characteristic lengths which decreases the gate to drain capacitance and leads to drastic improvement in analog/RF figures of merit. Furthermore, the optimisation is performed with different concentrations for uniform and Gaussian drain doping profile and for various sectional length of lower work function of the gate electrode. Finally, the effect of temperature variation on the device performance is demonstrated.
