摘要
A normally off AlGaN/GaN Hetero-junction Field Effect Transistor (HFET) structure is proposed. Two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of more than 1x10(13) cm(-2), which a AlGaN/GaN HFET generally has, can be compensated completely by the negative charge in a floating gate or in a SiO2 layer on the AlGaN. Computer simulation showed that the threshold voltage was shifted from -3 V to -15 V with 20 nm SiO2 layer between the control gate and the AlGaN layer, but it was also shifted to +5V with 5x10(13) cm(-2) electrons (negative charge) in the middle of the SiO2 layer (a floating gate) or minus ions in the SiO2 layer itself.
