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。

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.
