14.2 W/mm internally-matched AlGaN/GaN HEMT for X-band applications

High-performance X-band AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has been achieved by Γ-gate process in combination with source-connected field plate. Both its Schottky breakdown voltage and pinch-off breakdown voltage are higher than 100 V. Beside, excellent superimposition of direct current (DC) I-V characteristics in different V_ds sweep range indicates that our GaN HEMT device is almost current collapse free. As a result, both outstanding breakdown characteristics and reduction of current collapse effect guarantee high microwave power performances. Based upon it, we have developed an internally-matched GaN HEMT amplifier with single chip of 2.5 mm gate periphery, which exhibits power density of 14.2 W/mm with 45.5 dBm (35.5 W) output power and a power added efficiency (PAE) of 48% under V_ds = 48 V pulse operating condition at 8 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest power density at this power level.

Hydrogen sensors based on AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT

Pt/AlGaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) were fabricated and characterized for hydrogen sensing. Pt and Ti/Al/Ni/Au metals were evaporated to form the Schottky contact and the ohmic contact, respectively. The sensors can be operated in either the field effect transistor (FET) mode or the Schottky diode mode. Current changes and time dependence of the sensors under the FET and diode modes were compared. When the sensor was operated in the FET mode, the sensor can have larger current change of 8 mA, but its sensitivity is only about 0.2. In the diode mode, the current change was very small under the reverse bias but it increased greatly and gradually saturated at 0.8 mA under the forward bias. The sensor had much higher sensitivity when operated in the diode mode than in the FET mode. The oxygen in the air could accelerate the desorption of the hydrogen and the recovery of the sensor.

Influence of layer structure on performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors before and after passivation

Intentionally undoped and three different, doped layer structures are used to investigate properties of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) before and after SiN passivation. For unpassivated devices, the drain current, transconductance, cutoff frequency, and microwave output-power increase with increased doping level, in spite of an increase in the gate-leakage current. After passivation, an overall performance improvement of all devices occurs. The passivation-induced sheet charge decreases from 2×10¹² cm⁻² in undoped structures to ∼0.7×10¹² cm⁻² in higher doped structures and performance improvement with passivation is less pronounced for higher doped devices. However, the output power of unpassivated and passivated devices on higher doped structures is much higher than that on the undoped-passivated counter-part. These results underline an advantage of the doped layer structure for the preparation of high-performance AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.

Low-density drain high-electron mobility transistors (LDD-HEMTs) with different F^- plasma treatment were investigated by simulations and experiments. The LDD region was performed by introducing negatively charged fluorine ions, which modified the surface field distribution on the drain side of the HEMT, and the enhancement of breakdown voltage were achieved. With the increased fluorine plasma treatment power and LDD region length, the breakdown voltage can be maximumly improved by 70%, and no severe reductions on output current and transconductance were observed. To confirm the temperature stability of the devices, annealing experiments were carried out at 400℃ for 2 min in ambient N₂. Moreover, the gate leakage current and breakdown voltage before and after annealing were compared and analyzed, respectively.
