Influence of annealed ohmic contact metals on electron mobility of strained AlGaN/GaN heterostructures

The influence of annealed ohmic contact metals on the electron mobility of a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is investigated on ungated AlGaN/GaN heterostructures and AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field effect transistors (AlGaN/GaN HFETs). Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics for ungated AlGaN/GaN heterostructures and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics for AlGaN/GaN HFETs are obtained, and the electron mobility for the ungated AlGaN/GaN heterostructure is calculated. It is found that the electron mobility of the 2DEG for the ungated AlGaN/GaN heterostructure is decreased by more than 50% compared with the electron mobility of Hall measurements. We propose that defects are introduced into the AlGaN barrier layer and the strain of the AlGaN barrier layer is changed during the annealing process of the source and drain, causing the decrease in the electron mobility.

A High Performance AlGaN/GaN HEMT with a New Method for T-Gate Layout Design

We propose and fabricate an A1GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor （HEMT） on sapphire substrate using a new kind of electron beam （EB） lithography layout for the T-gate. Using this new layout,we can change the aspect ratio （ratio of top gate dimension to gate length） and modify the shape of the T-gate freely. Therefore, we obtain a 0.18μm gate-length AlGaN/GaN HEMT with a unity current gain cutoff frequency （f_T） of 65GHz. The aspect ratio of the T-gate is 10. These single finger devices also exhibit a peak extrinsic transconductance of 287mS/mm and a maximum drain current as high as 980mA/mm.

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.
