研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of the channel electric field and effective electron velocity in AlGaN/GaN multi-nanochannel high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs).
研究成果
The MNC HEMT exhibits significantly higher effective electron velocity due to the formation of a high electric field in the nanochannel, which is close to the peak saturation velocity in GaN. This finding is crucial for improving the performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs and understanding electron transport in 3D nanochannel structures.
研究不足
The study is limited to AlGaN/GaN HEMTs fabricated on sapphire substrates. The enhancement mechanisms may vary with different substrate materials or device architectures.
