The Effect of an Fe-doped GaN Buffer on off-State Breakdown Characteristics in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on Si Substrate

An Fe-doped GaN buffer layer was employed in the growth of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on Si substrates. In order to investigate the effects of an Fe-doped GaN buffer on OFF-state breakdown characteristics, HEMT devices with an Fe-doped GaN buffer on Si substrates were fabricated along with conventional devices utilizing an unintentionally doped GaN buffer on Si substrates. The device characteristics were compared. While HEMT devices with the conventional structure showed an extremely unstable OFF-state breakdown behavior due to punchthrough to the Si substrate, it was demonstrated that an Fe-doped GaN buffer layer on a Si substrate successfully suppressed the premature failure caused by Si-induced breakdown. As a result, the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with an Fe-doped GaN buffer on Si substrates exhibited much more consistent and enhanced breakdown voltages, when compared with the conventional devices. Consequently, it is highly desirable that AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on Si substrates have an Fe-doped GaN buffer layer in order to achieve stable and robust OFF-state breakdown characteristics     

GaN-based optoelectronic devices on sapphire and Si substrates

A recessed gate AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) on sapphire (0 0 0 1), a GaN metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) and an InGaN multiple-quantum well green light-emitting diode (LED) on Si (1 1 1) substrates have been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The AlGaN/GaN intermediate layers have been used for the growth of GaN MESFET and LED on Si substrates. A two-dimensional electron gas mobility as high as 9260 cm²/V s with a sheet carrier density of 4.8×10¹² cm⁻² was measured at 4.6 K for the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure on the sapphire substrate. The recessed gate device on sapphire showed a maximum extrinsic transconductance of 146 mS/mm and a drain–source current of 900 mA/mm for the AlGaN/GaN HEMT with a gate length of 2.1 μm at 25°C. The GaN MESFET on Si showed a maximum extrinsic transconductance of 25 mS/mm and a drain–source current of 169 mA/mm with a complete pinch-off for the 2.5-μm-gate length. The LED on Si exhibited an operating voltage of 18 V, a series resistance of 300 Ω, an optical output power of 10 μW and a peak emission wavelength of 505 nm with a full-width at half-maximum of 33 nm at 20 mA drive current.

AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN DH-HEMTs with an InGaN notch for enhanced carrier confinement

We report an AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN double heterojunction high electron mobility transistors (DH-HEMTs) with high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) and reduced buffer leakage. The device features a 3-nm thin In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/N(x=0.1) layer inserted into the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure. Assisted by the InGaN layers polarization field that is opposite to that in the AlGaN layer, an additional potential barrier is introduced between the 2-DEG channel and buffer, leading to enhanced carrier confinement and improved buffer isolation. For a sample grown on sapphire substrate with MOCVD-grown GaN buffer, a 2-DEG mobility of around 1300 cm/sup 2//V/spl middot/s and a sheet resistance of 420 /spl Omega//sq were obtained on this new DH-HEMT structure at room temperature. A peak transconductance of 230 mS/mm, a peak current gain cutoff frequency (f/sub T/) of 14.5 GHz, and a peak power gain cutoff frequency (f/sub max/) of 45.4 GHz were achieved on a 1/spl times/100 /spl mu/m device. The off-state source-drain leakage current is as low as /spl sim/5 /spl mu/ A/mm at V/sub DS/=10 V. For the devices on sapphire substrate, maximum power density of 3.4 W/mm and PAE of 41% were obtained at 2 GHz.
