We experimentally investigated the impact of different bump patterns on the output electrical characteristics of flip-chip (FC) bonded AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors in this letter. The bump patterns were designed and intended to provide different levels of tensile stress due to the mismatch in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the materials. After FC packaging, a maximum increase of 4.3% in saturation current was achieved compared with the bare die when proper arrangement of the bumps in active region was designed. In other words, a 17% improvement has been observed on the optimized bump pattern over the conventional bump pattern. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first letter that investigates the piezoelectric effect induced by FC bumps leading to the enhancement in device characteristics after packaging.

A GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor-high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) using hybrid ferroelectric charge trap gate stack (FEG-HEMT) is demonstrated for normally-OFF operation. The ferroelectric (FE) polarization increases the number of trapped charges in the HfON charge trapping layer, leading to high positive threshold voltage (V-th) shift for the normally-OFF device. Besides, under the positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) test, the internal electric field induced by FE polarization causes smoother slope of the conduction band in FE gate stack, resulting in better V-th stability. With the proposed hybrid FE charge trap gate stack, the device exhibits a high V-th of +2.71 V at I-DS = 1 mu A/mm, a high maximum current density of 820 mA/mm and low on-resistance (R-ON) of 11.1 Omega . mm. The FE device also shows good V-th-temperature stability compared to the non-FE device results. Besides, a high current device with 40 A is also fabricated in this letter to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed FEG-HEMT device for high power device application.

We demonstrate the electrical performances of AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor-high electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) with high quality Al2O3 gate dielectric deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition using both H2O and remote O-2 plasma as oxygen sources. Excellent gate-dielectric/GaN interface and Al2O3 film quality were obtained, resulting in a very small threshold voltage hysteresis and a low interface trap density. The MIS-HEMT device exhibited high on/off current ratio of similar to 10(10), steep subthreshold slope, small gate leakage current, low dynamic on-resistance degradation, and effectively current collapse suppression. These results indicate that incorporating remote O-2 plasma in the ALD-Al2O3 deposition process is an effective and simple way to provide high quality gate dielectric for the GaN MIS-HEMTs production.

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.
