研究目的
To develop high performance nitride-based electronic devices, specifically high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), for power applications at X-band frequencies.
研究成果
The AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT structures grown on 6H-SiC substrates demonstrated excellent electrical properties and device performance, achieving a maximum continuous-wave output power of 110.9 W at 8 GHz. The results indicate strong potential for GaN-based HEMT devices in high-power applications at X-band frequencies.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the scalability of the fabrication process or the cost implications of using 6H-SiC substrates and MOCVD growth. Additionally, the environmental and operational stability of the devices under long-term use is not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved growing AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT structures on 3-inch semi-insulating 6H-SiC substrates using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The design rationale included introducing a high mobility GaN channel layer and an AlN interlayer to improve electron mobility and 2DEG sheet density.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT structures grown on 6H-SiC substrates. Data sources included DCXRD for crystal phase investigation, AFM for surface morphology, and electrical measurements for device performance.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included MOCVD for growth, AFM for surface analysis, and HP 4142 semiconductor parameter analyzers for electrical measurements. Materials included trimethylaluminum, trimethylgallium, and ammonia as precursors.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved growing the HEMT structure, fabricating the device with ohmic contacts and Schottky gates, and measuring electrical and high-frequency characteristics.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involved measuring sheet resistance, Hall mobility, 2DEG density, and device performance metrics like output power and efficiency.
