Galliumnitride has become a strategic superior material for space, defense and civil applications, primarily for power amplification at RF and mm-wave frequencies. For AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT), an outstanding performance combined together with low cost and high flexibility can be obtained using a System-in-a-Package (SIP) approach. Since thermal management is extremely important for these high power applications, a hybrid integration of the HEMT onto an AlN carrier substrate is proposed. In this study we investigate the temperature performance for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs integrated onto AlN using flip-chip mounting. Therefore, we use thermal simulations in combination with experimental results using micro-Raman spectroscopy and electrical dc-analysis.

We report on the temperature dependence of the mobility, $mu$, of the two-dimensional electron gas in a variable density AlGaN/GaN field effect transistor, with carrier densities ranging from 0.4$times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ to 3.0$times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ and a peak mobility of 80,000 cm$^{2}$/Vs. Between 20 K and 50 K we observe a linear dependence $mu_{ac}^{-1} = alpha$T indicating that acoustic phonon scattering dominates the temperature dependence of the mobility, with $alpha$ being a monotonically increasing function of decreasing 2D electron density. This behavior is contrary to predictions of scattering in a degenerate electron gas, but consistent with calculations which account for thermal broadening and the temperature dependence of the electron screening. Our data imply a deformation potential D = 12-15 eV.

GaN-based lateral Schottky diodes (SBDs) have attracted great attention for high-power applications due to its combined high electron mobility and large critical breakdown field. However, the breakdown voltage (BV) of the SBDs are far from exploiting the material advantages of GaN at present, limiting the desire to use GaN for ultra-high voltage (UHV) applications. Then, a golden question is whether the excellent properties of GaN-based materials can be practically used in the UHV field? Here we demonstrate UHV AlGaN/GaN SBDs on sapphire with a BV of 10.6 kV, a specific on-resistance of 25.8 m{Omega}.cm2, yielding a power figure of merit of more than 3.8 GW/cm2. These devices are designed with single channel and 85-{mu}m anode-to-cathode spacing, without other additional electric field management, demonstrating its great potential for the UHV application in power electronics.
The electronic properties of heterojunction electron gases formed in GaN/AlGaN core/shell nanowires with hexagonal and triangular cross-sections are studied theoretically. We show that at nanoscale dimensions, the non-polar hexagonal system exhibits degenerate quasi-one-dimensional electron gases at the hexagon corners, which transition to a core-centered electron gas at lower doping. In contrast, polar triangular core/shell nanowires show either a non-degenerate electron gas on the polar face or a single quasi-one-dimensional electron gas at the corner opposite the polar face, depending on the termination of the polar face. More generally, our results indicate that electron gases in closed nanoscale systems are qualitatively different from their bulk counterparts.
We report on the interfacial electronic properties of HfO2 gate dielectrics both, with GaN towards normally-OFF recessed HEMT architectures and the AlGaN barrier for normally-ON AlGaN/GaN MISHEMTs for GaN device platforms on Si. A conduction band off set of 1.9 eV is extracted for HfO2/GaN along with a very low density of fixed bulk and interfacial charges. Conductance measurements on HfO2/GaN MOSCAPs reveal an interface trap state continuum with a density of 9.37x1012 eV-1cm-2 centered at 0.48 eV below EC. The forward and reverse current densities are shown to be governed by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling and Poole-Frenkel emission respectively. Normally-ON HfO2/AlGaN/GaN MISHEMTs exhibit negligible shifts in threshold voltage, transconductances of 110mS/mm for 3 {mu}m gate length devices, and three-terminal OFF-state gate leakage currents of 20 nA/mm at a VD of 100 V. Dynamic capacitance dispersion measurements show two peaks at the AlGaN/GaN interface corresponding to slow and fast interface traps with a peak Dit of 5.5x1013 eV-1cm-2 and 1.5x1013 eV-1cm-2 at trap levels 0.55 eV and 0.46 eV below EC respectively. The HfO2/AlGaN interface exhibits a peak Dit of 4.4x1013 eV-1cm- 2 at 0.45 eV below EC.
GaN and the heterostructures are attractive in condensed matter science and applications for electronic devices. We measure the electron transport in GaN/AlGaN field-effect transistors (FETs) at cryogenic temperature. We observe formation of quantum dots in the conduction channel near the depletion of the 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). Multiple quantum dots are formed in the disordered potential induced by impurities in the FET conduction channel. We also measure the gate insulator dependence of the transport properties. These results can be utilized for the development of quantum dot devices utilizing GaN/AlGaN heterostructures and evaluation of the impurities in GaN/AlGaN FET channels.
