In this article, the Authors have demonstrated and analyzed various analog/RF and linearity performance of a AlGaN/GaN gate recessed MOSHEMT (GR-MOSHEMT) grown on a Si substrate with mathematical modeling based TCAD simulation. Specifically, a Al2O3 dielectric GR-MOSHEMT has shown tremendous potential in terms of AC/DC figure of merits (FOM's) such as low leakage current, high transconductance, high Ion/Ioff current ratio and excellent linear properties corresponding to conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT and MOSHEMT. The figure-of-merit metrics such as VIP2, VIP3, IIP3 and IDM3 are performed for different drain to source voltages (VDS) of 2.5V, 5V and 10V. All the modeling and simulation results are generated by Commercial Silvaco TCAD and found to be satisfactory in terms of high frequency and power applications. The present GR-MOSHEMT device shows a superior performance with a threshold voltage of 0.5V, Current density of 888 mA, high transconductance of 225 mS/mm and high unit gain cut-off frequency of 0.91GHz. The results of the developed AlGaN/GaN GR-MOSHEMT considerably improves the device performance and also suitable for high power distortion less RF applications.
In this paper we have developed an analytical model for Ferro PZT Al 2 O 3 /AlGaN/AlN/GaN MOSHEMT involving the solution of Poisson and Schrödinger equations. This analytical model covers most of the operating regimes of the Ferro PZT MOSHEMT. The two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) sheet charge density (n s ), threshold voltage (V th ), drain current (I ds ), gate capacitance (C gs and C gd ), and unit gain cut-off frequency(f T ) model equations are generated and simulated with MATLAB tool. It is also observed that the insertion of the Ferro Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 PZT (lead zirconium titanate) material can also improve the device performance. The proposed Ferro PZT MOSHEMT model accurately produces a higher drain current of 1.14A/mm , a high transconductance of 362S/mm, the gate-to-source capacitance of 50.99pF, the gate-to-drain capacitance of 38.25pF, and high cut-off frequency of 0.033THz for 20nm AlGaN barrier layer. The proposed model results show good agreement with the TCAD-Atlas simulation results and were satisfactory for the different AlGaN barrier layer thickness. The generated model and simulation results show the potential of using the Ferro PZT MOSHEMT for high-power and RF/Microwave applications.
