Al 0.32 Ga 0.68 N/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors ͑HFETs͒ grown by low-pressure metallorganic chemical vapor deposition are successfully fabricated. A Mg-doped insulating GaN layer is inserted to suppress the leakage current, improve the breakdown voltages, and yield excellent pinch-off characteristics. Moreover, HFETs with different channel thicknesses of 1200, 1500, and 1800 Å are investigated. Experimental results show that an HFET with a 1800 Å thick channel layer has the highest electron mobility, electron concentration, drain current, and extrinsic transconductance.
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.
