Photovoltaic effects on Franz-Keldysh oscillations in photoreflectance spectra: Application to determination of surface Fermi level and surface recombination velocity in undoped GaAs∕n-type GaAs epitaxial layer structures.
We applied a Cat-CVD (catalytic chemical vapor deposition) passivation film to AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, to resolve the trade-off between their drain current transient time and gatedrain break down voltage. We did not employ any field plate because it degrades high frequency operation over C-band. The SiN passivation film, deposited after a NH 3 treatment, resulted in less transient time and less gate leakage current than conventional PE-CVD passivation. A T-shaped gate HEMT fabricated by this technique, with Lg = 0.4 µm and Wg = 50.4 mm, delivered an output power over 140 W (2.79 W/mm), which was a record power at C-band.
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.
