GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) are becoming the mainstream for high frequency and power switching applications. Devices and circuits based on these emerging materials are more suited to operate at higher voltages and temperatures than Si-based devices owing to their superior physical properties. Recently, AlGaN/GaN based high...
GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) are becoming the mainstream for high frequency and power switching applications. On the other hand, Ultra-Wide Band Gap (UWBG) materials such as AlN that has a bandgap of 6.2 eV are attracting attention for pushing the limits of high voltage power devices. In this work, we report on AlGaN/GaN-on-AlN...

MBE has several advantages for the epitaxy of GaN-based heterostructures. More specifically, by controlling the interface between the AlN buffer layer and the silicon substrate, ammonia-MBE allows to grow innovative structures on silicon. Epitaxy on silicon necessarily requires a demonstration of scaling-up on large wafers used by the...
High power electronics using wide bandgap materials are maturing rapidly, and significantmarket growth is expected in a near future. Ultra wide bandgap materials, which have an even largerbandgap than GaN (3.4 eV), represent an attractive choice of materials to further push the performancelimits of power devices. In this work, we report on the...
In this work, two series of AlGaN/GaN/AlN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) heterostructures have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on AlN bulk substrates. The effects of reduction in the GaN channel thickness as well as the AlGaN barrier thickness and composition on structural and electrical properties of the heterostructures have...
The rapidly increasing power demand, downsizing of power electronics and material specific limitation of silicon has led to development of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Commercial GaN power devices are best available for radio frequency (RF) and high voltage switching applications. Emerging Al x Ga 1-x N channel based heterostructures are...
The rapidly increasing power demand, downsizing of power electronics and material specific performance limitation of silicon has led to the development of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures for high power applications.

Abstract Ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors offer new possibilities to develop power electronics. High voltage operation for the off‐state as well as high temperature stability of the devices in on‐state are required. More than AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, AlGaN/AlGaN heterostructures are promising candidates to meet these criteria....
