含GaN/AlGaN双异质结源极和半超结的增强型垂直HFET的静态特性

Enhanced vertical HFET integrated with dual GaN/AlGaN hetero-junction source and hetero-semi-super-junction

  • 摘要: GaN/AlGaN异质结垂直型场效应晶体管(HFET)可用作大功率开关等,但性能受限于击穿电压(VB)与比导通电阻(Ron,sp)的折衷,值得深入研发。本文构建了一种包含GaN/Alx1(x2)Ga1-x1(x2)N双异质结源极和(n) GaN/(p1(2)) Alx3(x4)Ga1-x3(x4)N/(n) GaN叠层异质半超结的增强型垂直HFET,利用Silvaco TCAD软件模拟了Al组份(x1,x2,x3,x4)、(p) AlGaN柱宽度、电流阻挡层浓度对器件静态性能的影响。结果表明,双异质结源极能产生更多的二维电子气(2DEG),改变x1及x2能提高器件的漏极电流密度(JDS)并降低Ron,sp。调节x3及x4可优化器件的载流子通道,降低Ron,sp;改善漂移区的电场分布,提升VB。相较于非均匀掺杂同质全超结垂直型HFET DOI:10.1088/1674-1056/27/4/047305,本器件的Ron,sp降低39.33%,功率品质因数(FOMBR)提升46.15%,可为设计高性能HFET提供新方案。

     

    Abstract: The vertical GaN/AlGaN hetero-junction field-effect transistors (HFETs) can be widely used as high-power switching devices, etc.However, the device performance are constrained by the trade-off between breakdown voltage (VB) and specific on-resistance (Ron, sp), which are worth further research.Herein, an enhanced vertical HFET integrated with GaN/Alx1(x2)Ga1-x1(x2)N dual hetero-junction (HJ) source and (n) GaN/(p1(2)) Alx3(x4)Ga1-x3(x4)N/(n) GaN stacked hetero-semi-super-junction (HSSJ) is proposed.The effects of the Al compositions (x1, x2, x3, x4), the width (Wp) of (p) AlGaN pillar, the doped level (NCBL) in current barrier layer (CBL) on the device static performance are simulated by using the Silvaco TCAD software.The results imply that more 2DEGs can be output from the dual HJ source with suitable (x1and x2), which yields large drain current density (JDS) and low Ron, sp.The electric field distribution and carrier path can be optimized by adjusting the Al compositions (x3and x4) in the HSSJ, which results in high VB and low Ron, sp.The Ron, sp of the proposed device decreased by 39.33% while the power figure of merit (FOMBR) increased by 46.15% comparing to a non-uniformly doped homo-full-super-junction vertical HFET DOI: 10.1088/1674-1056/27/4/047305.This paper can provide a new scheme for designing high performance HFETs.
