This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years, systems based on gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) have increasingly penetrated the markets for cellular telephone base stations, RADAR, and satellite communications. High power (several W/mm), continuous-wave (CW) operation of microwave HEMTs dissipates heat; as the device increases in temperature, its electron mobility drops and performance degrades. To enhance high-power performance and enable operation in high ambient temperature environments, the AlxGa1[-]xN/GaN epitaxial layers are attached to polycrystalline diamond substrates. e lower surface temperature rise on GaN-on- diamond is directly measured; subsequently, improved electrical performance is demonstrated on diamond versus the native (Si) substrates. Benchmark AlxGa1[-]xN/GaN devices are fabricated on SiC for comparison to diamond, Si, and bulk GaN substrates; the merits and performance of each is compared. In collaboration with Group4 Labs, X-band amplifier modules based on GaN-on-diamond HEMTs have been demonstrated for the first time. Recent efforts have focused on substituting AlxIn1[-]xN barriers in place of AlxGa1[-]xN to achieve higher output power at microwave frequencies and addressing the challenges of this new material system. Ultimately, these techniques may be combined to attain the utmost in device performance.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Due to its unique physical properties, gallium nitride (GaN) is under intense investigation for the development of transistors for high power, high frequency and high temperature applications. The majority of existing literature addresses field effect transistors. This dissertation addresses a wide spectrum of materials and device studies required for the development of GaN-based heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The investigated structure has the emitter region based on n-Al x Ga 1-x N alloys, while the base and collector were based on p-In y Ga 1-y N and n-GaN, respectively. The growth and doping of the various layers of the transistor structure, on sapphire substrate, GaN-templates and free standing GaN substrates are addressed. Particular emphasis was placed on the p-type doping of the AlGaN and InGaN alloys with magnesium, both doping of bulk films as well as superlattices. The experimental results were compared with theoretical predictions of a self-consistent solution to the one-dimensional poisson and schrodinger equations. A hole concentration for p-InGaN of 9x10 18 CM -3 was obtained, which is the highest value published. The device aspect of this research addressed issues related to the development of novel methods of selective growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of the emitter onto the base. This was found to be necessary to avoid damage of the base during mesa etching. The final product of this research was the fabrication and DC characterization of HBT devices. This included various lithography, metallization, etching and annealing steps. The devices were evaluated under common base and common emitter configurations and the best result obtained was a room temperature gain of 59.

This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient power conversion is essential to face the continuously increasing energy consumption of our society. GaN based vertical power field effect transistors provide excellent performance figures for power-conversion switches, due to their capability of handling high voltages and current densities with very low area consumption. This work focuses on a vertical trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) with conceptional advantages in a device fabrication preceded GaN epitaxy and enhancement mode characteristics. The functional layer stack comprises from the bottom an n+/n--drift/p-body/n+-source GaN layer sequence. Special attention is paid to the Mg doping of the p-GaN body layer, which is a complex topic by itself. Hydrogen passivation of magnesium plays an essential role, since only the active (hydrogen-free) Mg concentration determines the threshold voltage of the MOSFET and the blocking capability of the body diode. Fabrication specific challenges of the concept are related to the complex integration, formation of ohmic contacts to the functional layers, the specific implementation and processing scheme of the gate trench module and the lateral edge termination. The maximum electric field, which was achieved in the pn- junction of the body diode of the MOSFET is estimated to be around 2.1 MV/cm. From double-sweep transfer measurements with relatively small hysteresis, steep subthreshold slope and a threshold voltage of 3 - 4 V a reasonably good Al2O3/GaN interface quality is indicated. In the conductive state a channel mobility of around 80 - 100 cm2/Vs is estimated. This value is comparable to device with additional overgrowth of the channel. Further enhancement of the OFF-state and ON-state characteristics is expected for optimization of the device termination and the high-k/GaN interface of the vertical trench gate, respectively. From the obtained results and dependencies key figures of an area efficient and competitive device design with thick drift layer is extrapolated. Finally, an outlook is given and advancement possibilities as well as technological limits are discussed.
