transistors with Sc_2O_3 gate dielectric or surface passivation

The dc and power characteristics of AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMTs with Sc_2O_3 gate dielectrics were compared with that of conventional metal-gate HEMTs fabricated on the same material. The MOS-HEMT shows higher saturated drain-source current (~0.75 A/mm) andsignificantly better power-added efficiency (PAE, 27%) relative to the HEMT (~0.6 A/mm and ~5%). The Sc_2O_3 also provides effective surface passivation, with higher drain current, lower leakage currents and higher three-terminal breakdown voltagein passivated devices relative to unpassivated devices. The PAE also increases (from ~5% to 12%) on the surface passivated HEMTs, showing that Sc_2O_3 is an attractive option for reducing gate and surface leakage in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure transistors.

SiO{sub}2/AlGaN/GaN-metal-oxide-semiconductor HEMTs on sapphire substrate

The metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) have been demonstrated on sapphire substrates, and the dc characteristics of the fabricated devices were examined. The electron beam (EB) evaporated SiO{sub}2 oxide layers were used as a gate-insulator. The fabricated MOS-HEMTs have exhibited superior dc characteristics when compared with the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. The MOS-HEMTs could operate at positive gate-biases as high as +4.0 V. The MOS-HEMTs exhibited highdrain current at 856 mA/mm. The extrinsic transconductance of 144 mS/mm has been found in 1.7μm-gate-length EB-SiO{sub}2 MOS-HEMTs. The gate leakage current was three orders of magnitude smaller than that of the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. The stable device operations at high gate voltages indicate that the trap density at the interface between the EB-SiO{sub}2 and AlGaN/GaN heterostructure will be low.

HEMT With Dielectric and Interfacial Passivation Layer Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition

We have developed a novel AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron mobility transistor using a stack gate HfO structure grown by atomic layer deposition. The stack gate consists of a thin HfO (30-A) gate dielectric and a thin Al (20- A) interfacial passivation layer (IPL). For the 50-A stack gate, no measurable hysteresis and a smaller threshold voltage shift were observed, indicating that a high-quality interface can be achieved using a Al IPL on an AlGaN substrate. Good surface passivation effects of the Al IPL have also been confirmed by pulsed gate measurements. Devices with 1- mum gate lengths exhibit a cutoff frequency of 12 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation of 34 GHz, as well as a maximum drain current of 800 mA/mm and a peak transconductance of 150 mS/mm, whereas the gate leakage current is at least six orders of magnitude lower than that of the reference high-electron mobility transistors at a positive gate bias.

We have developed a novel AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) using stack gate

HfO{sub}2/Al{sub}2O{sub}3 structure grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The stack gate consists of a thin HfO{sub}2 (30A) gate dielectric and a thin Al{sub}2O{sub}3 (20A) interfacial passivation layer (IPL). For the 50A stack gate, no measurable C-V hysteresis and smaller threshold voltage shift were observed, indicating that a high quality interface can be achieved using a Al{sub}2O{sub}3 IPL on AlGaN substrate. Good surface passivation effects of the Al{sub}2O{sub}3 IPL have also been confirmed by pulsed gate measurements. Devices with 1-μm gate lengths exhibit a cutoff frequency (f{sub}T) of 12GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation

(f{sub}(MAX)) of 34GHz. The gate leakage current is at least six orders of magnitude lower than that of the reference HEMTs at positive gate bias.

P.Wen Enhanced device performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using thermal ozidation of electron-beam

deposited Aluminum for gate ozide2008

We report on an AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobilitytransistor (MOS-HEMT) using thermal oxidation of electron-beam deposited aluminum as the gate dielectric. This novel dielectric deposition process is simple,and less expensive than electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma oxidation of Al or atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Ols spectrum showed that the Al2O3 with a bandgap of 7.8 eV was obtained in this specimen. The resulted MOS-HEMT exhibits several orders of magnitude lower gate leakage,larger drain saturation current and larger gate voltage swing compared to a conventional AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) of similar design.

Cheng P..ICSICT Enhanced device performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using thermal oxidation of electron-

beam deposited aluminum for gate oxide

We report on an AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) using thermal oxidation of electron-beam deposited aluminum as the gate dielectric. This novel dielectric deposition process is simple, and less expensive than electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma oxidation of Al or atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Ols spectrum showed that the Al2O3 with a bandgap of 7.8 eV was obtained in

this specimen. The resulted MOS-HEMT exhibits several orders of magnitude lower gate leakage, larger drain saturation current and larger gate voltage swing compared to a conventional AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) of similar design. The MOS-HEMT is therefore a viable alternative to regular HEMTs for high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature applications.

dielectric grown by atomic layer deposition

We report a GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) with atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 gate dielectric. Based on the previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 86 (2005) 063501] of Ye et al. by decreasing the thickness of the gate oxide to 3.5 nm and optimizing the device fabrication process, the device with maximum transconductance of 150 mS/mm is produced and discussed in comparision with the result of 100 mS/mm of Ye et al. The corresponding drain current density in the 0.8-mu m-gate-length MOS-HEMT is 800 mA/mm at the gate bias of 3.0 V. The gate leakage is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT. The excellent characteristics of this novel mos-hemt device structure with ALD Al2O3 gate dielectric are presented.

ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION Al{sub}2O{sub}3 AS GATE DIELECTRIC AND SURFACE PASSIVATION

We report on a GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) using atomic layer deposition (ALD)

Al{sub}2O{sub}3 film as a gate dielectric and for surface passivation simultaneously. Compared to the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT of the same design, six order of magnitude smaller gate leakage current and tripled drain current at forward gate bias demonstrate the effectiveness of ALD Al{sub}2O{sub}3 as a gate dielectric. The high transconductance and high effective two-dimensional electron mobility verify the high-quality of Al{sub}2O{sub}3/AlGaN interface with low interface trap density. The Al{sub}2O{sub}3 passivation effect is also studied by sheet resistance measurement and short pulse drain characterization.
