GaN MOS-HEMT Using Ultra-Thin Al2O3 Dielectric Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition

  • Received Date: March 19, 2007
  • Published Date: July 31, 2007
  • We report a GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) with atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 gate dielectric. Based on the previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 86 (2005) 063501] of Ye et al. by decreasing the thickness of the gate oxide to 3.5nm and optimizing the device
    fabrication process, the device with maximum transconductance of 150mS/mm is produced and discussed in comparison with the result of 100mS/mm of Ye et al. The corresponding drain current density in the 0.8-μm-gate-length MOS-HEMT is 800mA/mm at the gate bias of 3.0V. The gate leakage is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT.
    The excellent characteristics of this novel MOS-HEMT device structure with ALD Al2O3 gate dielectric are presented.
