摘要
Transport properties of Al2O3/AlGaN/GaN MOSHFETs and their unpassivated HFET counterparts are investigated. The Al2O3 gate oxide is only 4 rim thick and prepared by an oxidation of sputtered Al layer. The saturation drain current increased from 430 mA/mm for the HFET to 600 mA/mm for the MOSHFET. A significant increase of the extrinsic transconductance was observed - the peak values were 71 MS/nm for the HFET and 140 mS/mm for the MOSHFET. The transconductance increase is attributed to an enhancement of the effective carrier velocity due to the suppression of trapping states and following change of the electric field distribution below/near the gate contact. The MOSHFET devices showed significantly lower frequency dispersion of their capacitance than the HFET counterparts. All these shows an importance of thin and/or 'high-K' gate oxides for the preparation of AlGaN/GaN MOSHFETs.
