Abstract

The present invention discloses a T-gate and N-surface GaN / AlGaN fin-type high electron mobility transistor. The problems are mainly solved that the maximum oscillating frequency of a current microwave power device is small, the ohmic contact resistor is large and the short channel effect is severe. The transistor comprises from down to up: a substrate (1), a GaN buffer layer (2), a ALGaN barrier layer (3), a GaN channel layer (4), a gate medium layer (5), a passivation layer (6), a source gate electrode and a drain gate electrode. The buffer layer and the channel layer employ N-surface GaN materials; the GaN channel layer and the ALGaN barrier layer form GaN / AlGaN heterojunction; the gate electrode employs T-type gate and is wrapped at two sides and the upper portion of the GaN / AlGaN heterojunction to form a three-dimensional gate structure. The T-gate and N-surface GaN / AlGaN fin-type high electron mobility transistor has good gate-control capability, small resistor and the maximum oscillating frequency, and is able to be a microwave power device with the small size.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronic devices, in particular to a T-gate N-plane GaN / AlGaN fin-type high electron mobility transistor Fin-HEMT, which can be used for microwave power integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] As a third-generation semiconductor material, GaN material is considered to be an excellent material for making microwave power devices and high-speed devices due to its advantages such as large band gap, high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG and high electron saturation velocity. Especially the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction high electron mobility transistor HEMT is widely used in microwave power circuits. [0003] With the shrinking of transistor size, the gate length is getting shorter and shorter, and the short channel effect of traditional high electron mobility transistor HEMT becomes more and more obvious. Ordinary I-type gates have large parasitic capacitance and parasitic resi...
