摘要
We report on a novel Au-free CMOS process-compatible process for AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors. The process starts from a 150-mm GaN-on-Si substrate with an embedded Si3N4/Al2O3 bilayer gate dielectric, encapsulated by a high-temperature low-pressure chemical vapor deposited nitride layer. Power devices with a 20-mm gate width reach a maximum output current of 8 A, a breakdown voltage of 750 V, and a specific ON-resistance R-on,(sp) of 2.9 m Omega . cm(2). The OFF-state drain leakage at 600 V is 7 mu A. We show robust gate dielectrics with a large gate bias swing.
