一种氮化镓高迁移率晶体管的栅电流噪声模型

This work presents a theoretical and experimental study on the gate current 1/f noise in Al Ga N/Ga N HEMTs. Based on the carrier number fluctuation in the two-dimensional electron gas channel of Al Ga N/Ga N HEMTs, a gate current 1/f noise model containing a trap-assisted tunneling current and a space charge limited current is built. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experiment. Experiments show that, if Vg Vx, gate current 1/f noise comes from not only the trap-assisted tunneling RTS, but also the space charge limited current RTS. This indicates that the gate current 1/f noise of the Ga N-based HEMTs device is sensitive to the interaction of defects and the piezoelectric relaxation. It provides a useful characterization tool for deeper information about the defects and their evolution in Al Ga N/Ga N HEMTs.     

An extrinsic fmax &gt; 100 GHz InAlN/GaN HEMT with AlGaN back barrier

We report the DC and RF performance of InAlN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors with AlGaN back barrier grown on SiC substrates. These presented results confirm the high performance that is reachable by InAlN-based technology. The InAlN/GaN HEMT sample showed a high 2DEG mobility of 1550 cm²/(V·s) at a 2DEG density of 1.7×10¹³ cm^-2. DC and RF measurements were performed on the unpassivated device with 0.2 μm "T" gate. The maximum drain current density at V_GS=2 V is close to 1.05 A/mm in a reproducible way. The reduction in gate leakage current helps to increase the frequency performance of AlGaN back barrier devices. The power gain cut-off frequency of a transistor with an AlGaN back barrier is 105 GHz, which is much higher than that of the device without an AlGaN back barrier at the same gate length. These results indicate InAlN/GaN HEMT is a promising candidate for millimeter-wave application.
