摘要
In this paper, we report on the enhancement-mode (E-mode) Al2O3/AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) on Si. The E-mode operation is due to the negative charges in the atomic layer deposited Al2O3 layer. The unrecessed E-mode MOS-HEMTs exhibit high drain current density (>550 mA/mm) with a low specific ON-state resistance (R-ON,R-sp) of 0.7 m Omega.cm(2). A low gate leakage current showed enhancements in the subthreshold characteristics such as I-ON/I-OFF ratio similar to 10(8) and subthreshold slope of 75 mV/decade. This E-mode device showed good retention characteristics of threshold voltage upto 10(5) s. Furthermore, the E-mode MOS-HEMT exhibits an OFF-state breakdown voltage of 532 V for short gate-to-drain distance (L-gd = 4 mu m) that records a high power device figure of merit (FOM = BV2/R-ON,R-sp) value of 4x10(8) V-2 Omega(-1)cm(-2).
