Threshold Voltage Control By Gate Oxide Thickness In Fluorinated Gan Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor High-Electron-Mobility Transistors
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2013)
摘要
This paper demonstrates the compensation of the intrinsic positive charges in Al2O3 gate dielectric by fluorine ions in GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs). Negatively-charged fluorine ions diffused into the oxide from the AlGaN barrier during the 250 degrees C atomic layer deposition compensate the intrinsic positive charge present in the Al2O3. This compensation is key to control the threshold voltage (V-th) of enhancement-mode (E-mode) transistors. A comprehensive analytical model for the V-th of fluorinated MOS-HEMTs was established and verified by experimental data. This model allows the calculation of the different charge components in order to optimize the transistor structure for E-mode operation. Using the proposed charge compensation, the Vth increases with gate dielectric thickness, exceeding 3.5V for gate dielectrics 25 nm thick. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
