摘要
In this brief, an AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator- semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistor (MISHEMT) with pulsed laser deposited AlN interface protection layer (IPL) and trench termination (T-2) structure is experimentally and theoretically investigated. The AlN IPL could effectively improve the interface quality and reduce the interface trap density, which is verified by frequency-dependent C-V measurement and conductance method. The T-2 structure extends the depletion region and increases the average electric field (E-field) strength between the gate and drain, achieving an enhanced breakdown voltage (BV). The measured BV and saturated output current density are 412 V and 505 mA/mm for the device at L-G/L-GS/L-GD/W-G = 1.5/1.5/5/10 mu m, respectively. Compared with the MIS-HEMT without T-2 structure, the proposed device increases the BV by 63%.
