Despite the fact that a lower growth temperature is generally considered as a drawback for achieving high crystal quality, the necessity to reduce the nucleation temperature of AlN on Silicon has permitted Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) to demonstrate high performance for GaN transistors operating at high frequency. Compared to Metal-Organic...

For the first time, to the knowledge of the authors, GaN MESFETs on silicon substrate have been realised using low-pressure metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy. The devices demonstrate good pinch-off voltage and good breakdown voltage characteristics. A maximum extrinsic transconductance of 30 mS/mm was achieved on a 100 * 0.5 µm2 device. At a...

Transfer technology is now becoming very attractive not only for new technologies such as flexible technology but also for solid state technologies when performances are limited by technological barriers that have to be overcome. In this last context, the transfer of high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on diamond substrates represents an...

In this letter, a record performance at 40 GHz obtained on AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) grown on Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) Free-Standing GaN substrate is reported. An output power density of 2 W.mm-1 associated with 20.5 % power added efficiency and a linear power gain (Gp) of 4.2 dB is demonstrated for 70 nm gate...

The onset and pinch-off voltages shift of lateral GaN field-effect rectifier diodes (L-FER) and normally-off HEMTs are studied. It is shown that a short duration of low power SF6 plasma followed by a low temperature annealing permits to get an effective and stabilized fluorine ion implantation in the AlGaN barrier, contributing to reduce the...

In this work, the electrical properties of ScAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) heterostructures grown by ammonia source molecular beam epitaxy are studied. The effect of growth temperature and ScAlN barrier thickness on 2DEG carrier density is investigated with capacitance-voltage measurements. Alloyed ohmic contacts have been...

Schottky contacts on fluorine implanted AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with the ideality factor close to unity and low on-voltage threshold are presented in this paper. An SF 6 plasma anode pretreatment followed by a specific low-temperature annealing is also compared to a nonannealed sample. In addition, physical-model parameters are extracted by...

In this letter, we demonstrate that, for high linearity application, GaN devices benefit from their high drain-source bias voltages. An improvement up to 20 dB in intermodulation ratio can be observed at high power levels compared to usual GaAs PHEMT devices. This study demonstrates that the high bandgap GaN devices are ideal candidates for the...

This paper reports on the kink effect observed in InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors. Electrical characterizations were carried out to point out the influence of this phenomenon on transistor behaviour. It is demonstrated that the kink effect is directly correlated to shallow traps located under the conduction band. A model is...
