Abstract

En 中文
This study presents an innovative method for augmenting the performance of the beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3/Ga2O3 heterostructure field-effect transistor (HFET) by overlaying an AlN/Si3N4 bi-layer. Owing to its excellent thermal conductivity, the AlN film is a suitable contender for use as a heat spreader. The temperature of the device during operation is a crucial factor in minimizing damage and ensuring high-quality performance. This research compares the electrical characteristics of a conventional Si3N4 passivated HFET with a proposed one comprising AlN/Si3N4 bi-layer. For the suggested device a 14% lower quasi-steady state temperature is achieved. The device with AlN/Si3N4 layer as a heat spreader exhibits a transconductance peak of 78 mS/mm and a notable 64% increase in drain current compared to the Si3N4 passivated device. Furthermore, there is a significant 32% increment in cut-off frequency compared to the conventional passivated one.
