Optimization of Gate-Head-Top/Bottom Lengths of AlGaN/GaN High-Electron-Mobility Transistors with a Gate-Recessed Structure for High-Power Operations: A Simulation Study
In this study, we propose an optimized AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) with a considerably improved breakdown voltage. First, we matched the simulated data obtained from a basic T-gate HEMT with the measured data obtained from the fabricated device to ensure the reliability of the...

520 | |a In this study, we propose an optimized AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) with a considerably improved breakdown voltage. First, we matched the simulated data obtained from a basic T-gate HEMT with the measured data obtained from the fabricated device to ensure the reliability of the simulation. Thereafter, to improve the breakdown voltage, we suggested applying a gate-head extended structure. The gate-head-top and gate-head-bottom lengths of the basic T-gate HEMT were symmetrically extended by 0.2 μm steps up to 1.0 μm. The breakdown voltage of the 1.0 μm extended structure was 52% higher than that of the basic T-gate HEMT. However, the cutoff frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<T</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) and maximum frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<m</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<a</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<x</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) degraded.

Consequently, considering the trade-off relationship between the DC and RF characteristics, the 1.0 μm gate-head extended HEMT with the 6 nm gate-recessed structure was found to be the optimized AlGaN/GaN HEMT for high-power operations. | ||

Optimization of Gate-Head-Top/Bottom Lengths of AlGaN/GaN High-Electron-Mobility Transistors with a Gate-Recessed Structure for High-Power Operations: A Simulation Study |
abstract |
In this study, we propose an optimized AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) with a considerably improved breakdown voltage. First, we matched the simulated data obtained from a basic T-gate HEMT with the measured data obtained from the fabricated device to ensure the reliability of the simulation. Thereafter, to improve the breakdown voltage, we suggested applying a gate-head extended structure. The gate-head-top and gate-head-bottom lengths of the basic T-gate HEMT were symmetrically extended by 0.2 μm steps up to 1.0 μm. The breakdown voltage of the 1.0 μm extended structure was 52% higher than that of the basic T-gate HEMT. However, the cutoff frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<T</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) and maximum frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<m</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<a</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<x</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) degraded.

First, we matched the simulated data obtained from a basic T-gate HEMT with the measured data obtained from the fabricated device to ensure the reliability of the simulation. Thereafter, to improve the breakdown voltage, we suggested applying a gate-head extended structure. The gate-head-top and gate-head-bottom lengths of the basic T-gate HEMT were symmetrically extended by 0.2 μm steps up to 1.0 μm. The breakdown voltage of the 1.0 μm extended structure was 52% higher than that of the basic T-gate HEMT. However, the cutoff frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<T</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) and maximum frequency (<inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<m</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<a</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<x</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<) degraded. To minimize the degradation of <inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<T</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula< and <inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<m</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<a</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<x</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula<, we additionally introduced a gate-recessed structure to the 1.0 μm gate-head extended HEMT. The thickness of the 25 nm AlGaN barrier layer was thinned down to 13 nm in 3 nm steps, and the highest <inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<T</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula< and <inline-formula<<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"<<semantics<<mrow<<msub<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<f</mi<</mrow<<mrow<<mi mathvariant="normal"<m</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<a</mi<<mi mathvariant="normal"<x</mi<</mrow<</msub<</mrow<</semantics<</math<</inline-formula< were obtained at a 6 nm recessed structure.

Consequently, considering the trade-off relationship between the DC and RF characteristics, the 1.0 μm gate-head extended HEMT with the 6 nm gate-recessed structure was found to be the optimized AlGaN/GaN HEMT for high-power operations.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">gallium nitride</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" "
