研究了AlGaN/GaN高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)的关态击穿机理。关态击穿电压(BVoff)具有0.12 V/K的正温度系数。BVoff由栅漏电流(Ileak)的单调递减函数表示,Ileak由碰撞电离系数解析导出。我们的研究结果表明,AlGaN/GaN HEMT的关态击穿起源于沟道中的碰撞电离,这是由栅极漏电流引起的。通过在栅极金属沉积之前进行等离子体表面处理,BVoff随着Ileak的降低而增加。(© 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA,魏因海姆)
We have studied the mechanism of off-state breakdown in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). The off-state breakdown voltage (BVoff) had a positive temperature coefficient of 0.12 V/K. BVoff was represented by a monotonous decreasing function of gate leakage current (Ileak), which was analytically derived from the impact ionization coefficient. Our results suggest that off-state breakdown in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs originated from impact ionization in the channel, which was caused by the gate leakage current. BVoff increased with decreasing Ileak by a plasma surface treatment before gate metal deposition. (© 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
