摘要
A novel piezoelectric-induced cap structure in an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) was developed for enhancement-mode (E-mode) operation with high maximum drain current density high breakdown voltage (BVgd) and small current collapse. Our developed cap structure consists of a thin GaN/AlN/GaN triple-layer, which reduces the sheet resistance (Rh) due to conduction band bending. The threshold voltage (V-th) is +0.25 V with a high I-dmax of 520 mA/mm, a high BVgd of 336 V and small current collapse by using the developed cap structure and a gate recess technique. The single-chip AlGaN/GaN E-mode HEMT amplifier achieved a high output power of 126 W at 2.5 GHz with improved distortion characteristics. This is the first report of an AlGaN/GaN E-mode HEMT with an Output power of over 100 W. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
