AlGaN/GaN-based multi-channel epitaxial structure with an ultra-low 2DEG density and superior carrier transport performance

In this work, the relationship between two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density and electron velocity in AlGaN/GaN-based single-channel and multi-channel structures has been studied through I-shape test structure and pulsed I – V measurements. With an optimized epitaxial design, a multi-channel s...

description In this work, the relationship between two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density and electron velocity in AlGaN/GaN-based single-channel and multi-channel structures has been studied through I-shape test structure and pulsed I – V measurements. With an optimized epitaxial design, a multi-channel structure with a 2DEG density of 0.65 × 10 ^13 cm ^−2 presents a maximum electron velocity of 1.57 × 10 ^7 cm s ^−1 at 100 kV cm ^−1 , which is 2.4 times higher than that of conventional single-channel structure. This multi-channel structure with an ultra-low 2DEG density is highly suitable for enhanced-mode FinFETs, offering significant potential for radio-frequency mobile terminal applications, such as 5G handsets.
