摘要
GaInSb is one of the attractive Sb-based channel materials for high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) that can operate in the terahertz band. The effect of strain in the channel on the electron transport properties of Ga1-xInxSb channel HEMT structures (x = 0.60, 0.78, 0.85, 0.90, and 0.94) with the strained-Al0.40In0.60Sb/Al0.25In0.75Sb stepped buffer is investigated. The strain in the Ga1-xInxSb channel layer is determined by the lattice constant of Al0.25In0.75Sb lower buffer layer. The electron mobility (mu) shows the maximum value of 15 100 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) at x = 0.78 (unstrained), which has the minimum threading dislocation density (TDD). The value for sheet electron density (N-s) increases with decreasing x, and saturates at about 2.1 x 10(12) cm(-2) when unstrained or tensile strained. The minimum sheet resistance (R-s) is 202 Omega/rectangle for the unstrained Ga0.22In0.78Sb channel.
