摘要
The surface electronic states and defects of gallium nitride based high -electron -mobility transistors (HEMTs) play a critical role affecting channel electron density, electron mobility, leakage current, radio frequency (RF) power output and power added efficiency of devices. This article demonstrates the improved surface properties of InAlN/GaN HEMTs through forming gas (FG) annealing, resulting in a significantly improved electrical properties. The X-ray photoelectron spectra reveals a reduction of surface native oxide after FG H2/N2 annealing whereby the amount of Ga-O bonds is decreased. Compared with N2 annealing, an on -resistance of 1.68 omega & sdot;mm, a subthreshold swing of 118 mV/dec, a transconductance peak of 513 mS/mm, a gate diode breakdown voltage of surpassing 42 V, and a high current/power gain cutoff frequency (fT/fmax) of 165/165 GHz are achieved by the 50-nm InAlN/GaN HEMT on Si substrate.
