摘要：

Dependence of threshold voltage (V-Th) on oxide thickness (t(ox)) for GaN-based metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) using sputter-deposited Al2O3 as gate dielectric is studied in detail. Different III-nitride (III-N) heterostructures (AlGaN/GaN and AlInN/GaN) with/without GaN cap layer were used for fabricating these MIS devices. Interestingly, for all the sets of devices, a positive shift in V-Th was observed initially with a increase in tox, followed by a negative shift of the same. A comprehensive analytical model has been proposed to explain the variation of V-Th with t(ox) and has been shown to match the experimental data for MIS-HEMTs fabricated on different heterostructures and with different values of t(ox). This model allows the extraction of different charge components in the oxide or at oxide/III-N interface. Normally OFF AlInN/GaN MIS-HEMTs with V-Th of +0.67 V have been demonstrated with the optimized t(ox) of sputtered Al2O3.
