A Monolithic Integrated Logic Circuit of Resonant Tunneling Diodes and a HEMT

A technology for the monolithic integration of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is developed. Molecular beam epitaxy is used to grow an RTD on a HEMT structure on GaAs substrate. The RTD has a room temperature peak-to-valley ratio of 5.2:1 with a peak current density of 22.5kA/cm~2. The HEMT has a 1μm gate length with a-1V threshold voltage. A logic circuit called a monostableto-bistable transition logic element (MOBILE) circuit is developed. The experimental result confirms that the fabricated logic circuit operates successfully with frequency operations of up to 2GHz.

RF-MBE Grown AlGaN/GaN HEMT Structure with High Al Content

A Si doped AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure with high Al content (x= 44%) in the barrier layer is grown on sapphire substrate by RF-MBE. The structural and electrical properties of the heterostructure are investigated by the triple axis X-ray diffraction and Van der Pauw-Hall measurement, respectively. The observed prominent Bragg peaks of the GaN and AlGaN and the Hall results show that the structure is of high quality with smooth interface.fabricated and characterized. Better DC characteristics, maximum drain current of 1.0A/mm and extrinsic transconductance of 218mS/mm are obtained when compared with HEMTs fabricated using structures with lower Al mole fraction in the AlGaN barrier layer. The results suggest that the high Al content in the AlGaN barrier layer is promising in improving material electrical properties and device performance.
