InAlN/GaN HEMTs With AlGaN Back Barriers

This letter studies the effect of AlGaN back barriers in the dc and RF performance of In0.17Al0.83N/GaN high-electron mobility transistors grown on SiC substrates. When compared to conventional structures without a back barrier, the back barrier effectively prevents the degradation of drain-induced barrier lowering and significantly improves the output resistance in sub-100-nm-gate-length devices....
