Abstract

En 中文
In this study, an approach and device structure to improve threshold voltage VTH stability and subthreshold slope (SS) of GaN p-MOSFET are reported. Based on the p-GaN/AlN/AlGaN/AlN/GaN double heterostructure, the proposed enhancement-mode (E-mode) GaN p-MOSFET features an intrinsic buried back gate (BBG) by employing the 2DEG channel at the buried AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterojunction. The BBG effectively mitigates the defective MOS-gate interface issue and endows the device with excellent VTH stability (ΔVTH < 0.2 V) within a large gate swing at room and high temperatures (25–150 °C). Moreover, benefiting from the BBG-enhanced gate-to-channel controllability, a high ION/IOFF current ratio of ∼108 and an ultralow SS of 85.6 mV/dec are obtained. Besides, the device with a dual-gate structure delivers a high VTH of –2 V with excellent pinch-off at zero gate bias showing a decent E-mode operation.
