Problems solved by technology

However, due to the lattice mismatch, the back barrier will introduce traps between the buffer layer and the channel, which will also cause disadvantages such as device output current drop, current collapse effect, and reaction speed drop.

Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium-nitride-based heterostructure field effect transistor with composite barrier layers. The composite barrier layers are formed by AlInGaN material with different polarization intensities. When the AlInGaN composite barrier layer with low polarization intensity is located at a grid drain terminal, the density of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of the channel below the barrier layer is smaller than that of the 2DEG at other positions of the channel drain terminal, an LDD structure is formed, and the electric field distribution of the channel is modulated to increase voltage endurance capability; when the AlInGaN composite barrier layer with low polarization intensity is located right below a grid, a below-grid gallium nitride (GaN) channel guide strip bottom is distributed in a stepped manner, the drift speed of a below-grid channel carrier is increased due to barrier descending, electric field peak is generated between AlInGaN composite barrier layer with two different elemental components, and more potential is distributed at the grid drain terminal instead of the whole grid to restrain drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a gallium nitride-based heterojunction field effect transistor with a composite barrier layer. Background technique [0002] Gallium nitride (GaN) based heterojunction field effect transistor has excellent characteristics such as large band gap, high critical breakdown electric field, high electron saturation velocity, good thermal conductivity, radiation resistance and good chemical stability. (GaN) materials can form two-dimensional electron gas heterojunction channels with high concentration and high mobility with materials such as aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), so they are especially suitable for high-voltage, high-power and high-temperature applications, and are the most suitable for power electronics applications. One of the most promising transistors. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a traditional GaN HFET structure based on the prior ...
