Abstract

Comparative study on a novel Al2O3-dielectric graded-barrier (GB) AlxGa1-xN/AlN/GaN/Si (x = 0.22 ∼ 0.3) metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistor (MOS-HFET) formed by using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (USPD) technique has been made with respect to a conventional-barrier (CB) Al0.26Ga0.74N/AlN/GaN/Si MOS-HFET and the reference Schottky-gate HFET devices. The GB AlxGa1-xN was devised to improve the interfacial quality and enhance the Schottky barrier height at the same time. A cost-effective ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (USPD) method was used to form the high-k Al2O3 gate dielectric and surface passivation on the AlGaN barrier of the present MOS-HFETs. Comprehensive device performances, including maximum extrinsic transconductance (g m,max), maximum drain-source current density (I DS,max), gate-voltage swing (GVS) linearity, breakdown voltages, subthreshold swing (SS), on/off current ratio (I on/I off), high frequencies, and power performance are investigated.
