Epitaxial growth and characterization of DyP/GaAs, DyAs/GaAs, and GaAs/DyP/GaAs heterostructures

There is a significant interest in the area of improving high temperature stable contacts to III-V semiconductors. Two attractive material systems that offer promise in this area are dysprosium phosphide/gallium arsenide (DyP/GaAs) and dysprosium arsenide/gallium arsenide (DyAs/GaAs). Details of epitaxial growth of DyP/GaAs and DyAs/GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and their characterization by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, Hall measurements, and high temperature current-voltage measurements is reported. DyP is lattice matched to GaAs, with a room temperature mismatch of less than 0.01% and is stable in air with no sign of oxidation, even after months of ambient exposure. Both DyP and DyAs have been grown by solid source MBE using custom designed group V thermal cracker cells and group III high temperature effusion cells. High quality DyP and DyAs epilayer were consistently obtained for growth temperatures ranging from 500 to 600°C with growth rates between 0.5 and 0.7 μm/h. DyP epilayers are n-type with electron concentrations of 3 × 10²⁰ to 4 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³, room temperature mobilities of 250 to 300 cm²/V·s, and a barrier height of 0.81 eV to GaAs. DyAs epilayers are also n-type with carrier concentrations of 1 × 10²¹ to 2 × 10²¹ cm⁻³, and mobilities between 25 and 40 cm²/V·s.     

Recessed-gate structure approach toward normally off high-Voltage AlGaN/GaN HEMT for power electronics applications

A recessed-gate structure has been studied with a view to realizing normally off operation of high-voltage AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) for power electronics applications. The recessed-gate structure is very attractive for realizing normally off high-voltage AlGaN/GaN HEMTs because the gate threshold voltage can be controlled by the etching depth of the recess without significant increase in on-resistance characteristics. With this structure the threshold voltage can be increased with the reduction of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density only under the gate electrode without reduction of 2DEG density in the other channel regions such as the channel between drain and gate. The threshold-voltage increase was experimentally demonstrated. The threshold voltage of fabricated recessed-gate device increased to -0.14 V while the threshold voltage without the recessed-gate structure was about -4 V. The specific on-resistance of the device was maintained as low as 4 m/spl Omega//spl middot/cm/sup 2/ and the breakdown voltage was 435 V. The on-resistance and the breakdown voltage tradeoff characteristics were the same as those of normally on devices. From the viewpoint of device design, the on-resistance for the normally off device was modeled using the relationship between the AlGaN layer thickness under the gate electrode and the 2DEG density. It is found that the MIS gate structure and the recess etching without the offset region between recess edge and gate electrode will further improve the on-resistance. The simulation results show the possibility of the on-resistance below 1 m/spl Omega//spl middot/cm/sup 2/ for normally off AlGaN/GaN HEMTs operating at several hundred volts with threshold voltage up to +1 V.

The proposed HEMT exhibits a maximum drain current density of 2.1 A/mm, transconductance g_m of 1050 mS/mm, current gain cut-off frequency f_t of 350 GHz and power gain cut-off frequency f_max of 340 GHz. At room temperature the measured carrier mobility (μ), sheet charge carrier density (n_s) and breakdown voltage are 1580 cm²/(V·s), 1.9×10¹³ cm^-2, and 10.7 V respectively. The superlatives of the proposed HEMTs are bewitching competitor or future sub-millimeter wave high power RF VLSI circuit applications.
