A High Electron Mobility Transistor of GaN Metal Oxide Semiconductor with 0.5 μm Gate Length Employing HfO2 as Gate Dielectric
A high electron mobility transistor of GaN metal oxide semiconductor with 0.5 μm gate length(MOSHEMT)is proposed to suppress the gate leakage of GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT). A partially etched barrier structure is employed
and the structure of metal-oxide-semiconductor(MOS)gate with a high dielectric constant dielectric is used to replace the traditional GaN-HEMT Schottky gate. A GaN MOSHEMT is fabricated based on the proposed structure. The total thickness of the barrier layer is 20 nm
and the depth of the barrier trench is 15 nm. The gate dielectric uses the HfO
2
with high dielectric constant
and the gate length is 0.5 μm. Tests of current-v
oltage characteristic and radio frequency characteristic of the proposed device show that the maximum current density of the device is 900 A/mm
and the source-drain breakdown voltage is 75 V. A comparison with traditional GaN HEMTs shows that the GaN MOSHEMT greatly suppresses the gate current
its forward gate swing voltage is about ten times higher
and its radio frequency characteristic is comparable to that of the traditional GaN HEMTs with same gate length.
