We report an 80 nm gate-length In0.17Al0.83N/GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) on silicon substrate with a record low gate leakage current of 7.12 × 10−7 A mm−1, a record high on/off current ratio of 1.58 × 106, and a steep subthreshold swing of 65 mV dec−1, which are excellent features among the reported InAlN/GaN HEMTs on Si. Due to the excellent DC performance, a current gain cutoff frequency fT of 200 GHz is achieved, resulting in fT × Lg = 16 GHz μm for GaN HEMTs on Si which to the best of our knowledge is a new record.
The AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors with different gate lengths were fabricated. Based on the chosen of the Hamiltonian of the system and the additional polarization charges, two methods to calculate PCF scattering by the scattering theory were presented. By comparing the measured and calculated source-drain resistances, the effect of the different gate lengths on the PCF scattering potential was confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
