摘要
Using the measured capacitance-voltage curves of Ni Schottky contacts with different areas and the current-voltage characteristics for the rectangular and circular In0.18Al0.82N/AlN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) at low drain-source voltage, we found that the Ohmic contact processing and the gate bias cause the irregular distribution of the polarization charges at the In0.18Al0.82N/AlN interface which generates the polarization Coulomb field, and the polarization Coulomb field scattering has an important influence on the two-dimensional electron gas electron mobility in both our rectangular and circular In0.18Al0.82N/AlN/GaN HFET devices as same as in AlGaN/AlN/GaN HFET devices.
