Effects of surface passivation dielectrics on carrier transport in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors

Dielectric layers prepared by different deposition methods were used for the surface passivation of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) and the corresponding electrical characteristics were examined. Increases in the sheet charge density and the maximum drain current by approx...

description Dielectric layers prepared by different deposition methods were used for the surface passivation of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) and the corresponding electrical characteristics were examined. Increases in the sheet charge density and the maximum drain current by approximately 45% and 28%, respectively, were observed after the deposition of a 100 nm-thick SiO2 layer by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the top of the AlGaN/GaN HFETs. However, SiO2 deposited by a radio frequency (rf) sputter system had the opposite effect. As the strain applied to AlGaN was influenced by the deposition methods used for the dielectric layers, the carrier transport in the two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interface between AlGaN and GaN was affected accordingly.
