在蓝宝石衬底上研制了具有高电流增益截止频率(fT)的InAlN/GaN异质结场效应晶体管(HFETs).基于MOCVD外延n+-GaN欧姆接触工艺实现了器件尺寸的缩小,有效源漏间距(Lsd)缩小至600nm.此外,采用自对准工艺制备了50nm直栅.由于器件尺寸的缩小,Vgs=1V下器件最大饱和电流(Ids)达到2.11A/mm,峰值跨导达到609mS/mm.根据小信号测试结果,外推得到器件的fT和最大振荡频率(fmax)分别为220GHz和48GHz.据我们所知,该fT值是目前国内InAlN/GaNHFETs器件报道的最高结果.
Scaled InA1N/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) with high unity current gain cut-off frequency (fr) on sapphire substrate were fabricated and characterized. In this device, scaled source-to-drain dis- tance (Lsd) of 600 nm was realized by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) based on regrow non- alloyed n + -GaN Ohmic contacts. Moreover, a 50 nm rectangular gate was fabricated by self-aligned-gate technolo- gy. A high drain saturation current density (lds) of 2.11 A/mm @ Vgs = 1 V and a peak extrinsic transconduct- ance (gm) of 609 mS/mm were achieved in the InA1N/GaN HFETs. In addition, from the small-signal RF meas- urements, the values offT and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) for the device with 50-nm rectangular gate were extrapolated to be 220 GHz and 48 GHz. To our best knowledge, the value offT is the best reported one for InAIN/GaN HFETs in China.
