    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 electrical performances of gate-recessed AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) fabricated using the damage-free neutral beam etching (NBE) method are demonstrated. The NBE method could eliminate the plasma-induced defects generated by irradiating ultraviolet/VUV photons in the conventional inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching method. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT device fabricated using the new gate recess process exhibited superior electrical performances, including a maximum drain current density (I-DS,I-max) of 1.54 A/mm, low 1/f noise, a current-gain cutoff frequency (f(T)) of 153 GHz, a maximum frequency of oscillation (f(MAX)) of 167 GHz, and a minimum noise figure (NFmin) of 3.28 dB with an associated gain (G(AS)) of 5.06 dB at 54 GHz. Such superior characteristics confirm the inherent advantages of adopting the damage-free NBE process in fabricating GaN devices for millimeter-wave applications.
