The physical mechanism of low-thermal-budget Au-free ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures is systematically investigated with current-voltage, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and temperature-dependent contact resistivity characterizations. With a low annealing temperature 600 °C, pre-ohmic recess etching the AlGaN barrier down several nanometers demonstrated be an effective method reduce resistance between Ti/Al/Ti/W metals heterostructures. However, further over...
Low damage atomic layer etching (ALE) gate recess is developed for fabrication of millimeter-wave AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). Plasma ion induced bombardments to the AlGaN barrier effectively suppressed by ALE recess, contributing a well-controlled recessed surface morphology. The lattice heterostructure also reflected significantly reduced leakage as well an invisible threshold voltage shift associated with traps. With 0.15-μm T-gate technology, high power-gain...
