本研究中我們嘗試使用電子束微影縮小線寬並備製比較了單、雙與多懸浮閘極之氮化鋁鎵/氮化鎵高電子遷移率電晶體,藉由多懸浮金屬閘極結構作為降低電晶體關閉漏電流並有效分佈更均勻之水平電場以提升原件耐壓與崩潰電壓,使之能達到同時縮小原件使吋並達到最大394伏崩潰電壓,最大電流密度與最大轉換電導值為632mA/mm和113 mS/mm。此外,我們以原子層沉積技術沉積高介電常數之三氧化二鋁與二氧化鉿薄膜,製備出多懸浮金屬閘極金氧半高電子遷移率電晶體,藉以改善元件表面特性減少表面漏電流增加最大電流密度。除此之外我們還有備製與研究不同間距之雙懸浮閘極與多懸浮閘極之金氧半高電子遷移率電晶體,其中以500奈米間距備製之雙懸浮閘極與多懸浮閘極金氧半高電子遷移率電晶體推測其擁有佳的自熱效應以及更寬廣的空乏區延伸所以有較大之崩潰電壓,但以250奈米間距之元件則有較佳的轉導。最後在金屬後退火比較後,相較於傳統結構金氧半高電子遷移率電晶體,多懸浮閘極金氧半高電子遷移率電晶體顯示出較均勻分布之電場以得到較高之崩潰電壓、較低之漏電流與較佳之閘極控制力。
In this study, small gate length devices and dual-gate floating metal (DGFM) and multi-floating metal (MFM) AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) are fabricated. The breakdown voltage, leakage current, and transconductance of DGFM and MFM HEMTs are greatly improved since the structure of the DGFM and MFM distributed the electric field more uniformly in the horizontal direction of the devices. The maximum breakdown voltage reached 394V. The maximum drain current density and maximum transconductance were 632 mA/mm and 113 mS/mm, respectively. In order to use as a passivated surface and as an oxide layer, atomic layer deposition was utilized to deposit a high-dielectric-constant HfO2 and Al2O3 thin film, which lowered the leakage current and improved the maximum drain current density due to decreases in the surface traps and the surface leakage current path. In addition, DGFM and MFM MOSHEMTs with different spacers were also made and discussed. Compared with 250nm spacer devices, the DGFM and MFM MOSHEMTs with a 500nm spacer had a better self-heating effect and wider depletion extension that resulted in a higher breakdown. Finally, compared with the traditional AlGaN/GaN MOSHEMTs, the DGFM and MFM MOSHEMTs exhibited less drain leakage current and better gate controllability and significantly improved breakdown voltage after post metal annealing (PMA).
