摘要

首先研究了不同退火温度对ALD Al2O3绝缘栅介质的性能影响,进一步验证了栅极后退火(PGA)对Al2O3 AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT器件性能影响。实验结果表明,在400 ℃的N2氛围下5分钟快速热退火处理可以有效改善介电材料的固定电荷和耐压性能。氧化铝的击穿场强由7.0 MV/cm提高到8.0 MV/cm,滞回C-V测量表明,Al2O3中的负固定电荷密度增加一个量级、可移动电荷显著降低。经过400 ℃后栅退火(PGA)制作的Al2O3-AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT器件阈值电压0.7 V,亚阈值斜率230 mV/dec,栅极最大偏置电压14 V,饱和电流600 mA/mm,导通电阻为5.88 Ω•mm,109的高导通/关态电流比、小于10-6 mA/mm的低关态漏电流。

Abstract

The effects of different annealing temperatures on the properties of Al2O3 gate dielectric were investigated, and the effects of post-gate annealing (PGA) on the properties of Al2O3 AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT devices were further verified. The results show that the fixed charge and voltage resistance of the dielectric material can be improved by annealing at 400 ℃ N2 for 5 min. The breakdown field strength of alumina increases from 7.0 MV/cm to 8.0 MV/cm. The hysteresis C-V measurements show that the negative fixed charge density increases by an order of magnitude and the movable charge decreases significantly. The Al2O3 AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT device fabricated by 400 ℃ post-gate annealing (PGA) has a threshold voltage of 0.7 V, a sub-threshold slope of 230 MV/dec, a maximum gate bias voltage of 14 V, a saturation current of 600 mA/mm, and an on-resistance of 5.88 Ω· mm, 109 high on/off ratio, low off-state leakage current less than 10-6 mA/mm.
