Electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor using La2O3 gate dielectric
Source abstract
Abstract
We report the studies of AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MISHEMTs) using reactive-sputtered La2O3 as the gate dielectric and the surface passivation layer. The device presents a maximum drain current of 829 mA/mm and a maximum transconductance of 105 mS/mm, while the gate leakage current in the reverse direction is reduced by two orders of magnitude and the forward gate voltage swing increased to +5 V without gate breakdown. Compared to HEMT devices of similar geometry, MISHEMTs present a significant drain current recovery form current collapse.
