    Deeply recessed ohmic contacts for GaN-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are demonstrated. It is shown that low-resistance ohmic contacts can be achieved with recessing beyond the AlGaN Schottky barrier where the ohmic contacts are formed on the sidewall of the recess. This makes the process versatile and relatively insensitive to the exact recess depth. The ohmic contact is based on a gold-free metallization scheme consisting of a Ta/Al/Ta metal stack requiring a low-temperature annealing. Important parameters for this type of ohmic contact process include the metal coverage, slope of the etched sidewall, bottom Ta-layer thickness, as well as annealing temperature and duration. The optimized contact resistance is as low as 0.24 Omega mm after annealing at 575 degrees C. Moreover, this sidewall contact approach was successfully implemented on different epitaxial heterostructures with different AlGaN barrier thickness as well as with and without AlN exclusion layer. All the samples exhibited excellent contact resistances in a wide range of recess depths. The Ta-based, sidewall ohmic contact process is a promising method for forming an ohmic contact on a wide range of GaN HEMT epitaxial designs.

    High-performance GaN metal-oxidesemi-conductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MOSHEMTs) using Al2O3 gate dielectric deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and damage-free neutral beam etch (NBE) gate recess process for millimeter-wave power applications are demonstrated. The high-quality ALD Al2O3 reduces the gate leakage current of the device and the NBE method eliminates the plasma-induced defects in the nitride materials. The MOSHEMT device fabricated exhibits a high maximum drain current density (I-DS,I-max ) of 1.65 A/mm and a high peak extrinsic transconductance (g(m.ext) ) of 653 mS/mm. The MOSHEMT device also demonstrates excellent RF performances, including f(T)/f(MAX) = 183/191 GHz, NFmin = 2.56 dB with G(AS) = 5.61 dB at 54 GHz, and an output power density of 2.7 W/mm associated with a power-added efficiency of 20.9% and a linear power gain of 9.4 dB at 38 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, the noise performance at 54 GHz is the best reported so far for the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.

    The effects of different AlN buffer deposition temperatures on the GaN material properties grown on sapphire substrate was investigated. At relatively higher AlN buffer growth temperature, the surface morphology of subsequent grown GaN layer was decorated with island-like structure and revealed the mixed-polarity characteristics. In addition, the density of screw TD and leakage current in the GaN film was also increased. The occurrence of mixed-polarity GaN material result could be from unintentional nitridation of the sapphire substrate by ammonia (NH3) precursor at the beginning of the AlN buffer layer growth. By using two-step temperature growth process for the buffer layer, the unintentional nitridation could be effectively suppressed. The GaN film grown on this buffer layer exhibited a smooth surface, single polarity, high crystalline quality and high resistivity. AlGaN/GaN high electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices were also successfully fabricated by using the two-step AlN buffer layer. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
