Abstract

Al 0.22Ga 0.78As/In 0.24Ga 0.76As pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistors (pHEMTs) with metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS)-gate structure or oxide passivation by using ozone water oxidation treatment have been comprehensively investigated. Annihilated surface states, enhanced gate insulating property and improved device gain have been achieved by the devised MOS-gate structure and oxide passivation. The present MOS-gated or oxide-passivated pHEMTs have demonstrated superior device performances, including superior breakdown, device gain, noise figure, high-frequency characteristics and power performance. Temperature-dependent device characteristics of the present designs at 300450 K are also studied.
