摘要
We report on the calculation of the two dimension electron gas (2DEG) mobility in scaled AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility-transistors. We investigate the effect of remote impurity and phonon scattering models on the 2DEG mobility of the dielectric/AlGaN/GaN structure and investigate its variation with dielectric/AlGaN interface charge density, 2DEG concentration, and AlGaN thickness. Remote impurity scattering was found to be the dominant mechanism when the 2DEG density is below 5 x 10(12) cm(-2) and dielectric/AlGaN interface charge density is above 5 x 10(12) cm(-2). The interfacial charge has significant effect on the mobility as the AlGaN cap layer thickness is scaled down below 5 nm. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3653805]
