Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for extracting key parameters of enhancement-mode GaN devices based on depletion-mode GaN HEMT, belonging to the field of microelectronics research technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of gallium nitride (GaN) power device technology, enhancement-mode AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have gradually become an important development direction for GaN power devices due to their normally off characteristics, exhibiting higher safety and compatibility in power electronics and system-level applications. Among them, AlGaN / GaN HEMTs that achieve enhancement-mode characteristics using P-GaN gate structures have gained widespread attention in high-voltage power conversion, electric vehicles, and communication power supplies. In P-GaN AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices, key parameters such as sheet resistance, channel resistance, two-dimensional electron gas concentration, and electron mobility are closely related to the electrical transport characteristics of the device. These key parameters are important physical quantities in device structure optimization and performance optimization. However, most current methods for extracting key electrical parameters of GaN HEMT devices are based on physical models of depletion-mode devices, typically assuming that the channel sheet resistance is uniformly distributed along the channel direction and that the channel under the gate is fully conductive. This is difficult to directly apply to enhancement-mode P-GaN HEMT devices.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method to extract key parameters of enhanced gallium nitride devices without damaging the device structure or increasing process complexity, so as to provide technical support for a deeper understanding of the device's electrical transport mechanism and device performance optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for extracting key parameters of enhancement-mode GaN devices based on depletion-mode GaN HEMTs. Since the dimensions of enhancement-mode E-mode devices and depletion-mode D-mode devices are exactly the same, the gate-source resistance and gate-drain resistance of enhancement-mode devices can be directly obtained from the depletion-mode devices, enabling rapid, convenient, and accurate extraction of key parameters of enhancement-mode devices.

GS1 and gate-drain resistance R GD1 The gate-source resistance R of the depletion-mode D-mode device is respectively compared with that of the other two devices. GS2 and gate-drain resistance R GD2 equal;
[0009] To test the output characteristic curve of a depletion-mode D-mode device, the gate-source voltage V is used. GS Set to 0V, drain-source voltage V DS Set to 0-10V, outputting the drain-source current I of the depletion-mode D-mode device. DS You can get V GS Output characteristic curve of the device at 0V;
[0010] For depletion-mode D-mode devices, V is taken at a low field. DS = 0.1 V current I DS - Voltage value V DS Total resistance R Z =V DS / I DS Based on the device structure, the total resistance R is obtained. Z = 2R C + R GS2 + R GD2 + R G2 (The ratio of drain-source current to drain-source voltage is the total drain-source channel resistance, which is the sum of the gold-semiconductor contact resistance between the source and the ohmic metal, the gold-semiconductor contact resistance between the drain and the ohmic metal, the channel resistance between the gate and source, the channel resistance under the gate, and the channel resistance between the gate and drain.) Where R C This represents the gold-semi contact resistance between the source and the ohmic metal, or the gold-semi contact resistance between the drain and the ohmic metal; both are equal. R GS2 R represents the channel resistance between the gate and source. GD2 R represents the channel resistance between the gate and drain. G2 Indicates the channel resistance under the gate;

[0012] The capacitance-voltage (CV) characteristics of the depletion-mode D-mode device were tested at different gate voltages. The two-dimensional electron gas concentration at different gate voltages was obtained by integrating the capacitance-voltage characteristic curve (i.e., the CV curve). ,in, For the applied gate voltage, The point on the capacitance-voltage characteristic curve where the capacitance changes the most rapidly corresponds to...

[0023] In enhancement-mode E-mode devices, the selective placement of the GaN cap layer on the AlGaN barrier layer beneath the gate causes the conduction band of the AlGaN barrier layer beneath the gate to rise, and the conduction band at the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction interface is located at the Fermi level E. F This process depletes the two-dimensional electron gas under the gate, achieving enhancement mode. However, since P-GaN is absent in the gate-source and gate-drain regions, two-dimensional electron gas still exists in the channel. Therefore, the gate-source two-dimensional electron gas of the enhancement-mode E-mode device can be directly obtained from the gate-source two-dimensional electron gas density of the depletion-mode D-mode device, which has the same device size. When the gate bias of the depletion-mode D-mode device is 0V, the gate-source two-dimensional electron gas density under a 0V gate bias can be obtained from step S2. (The two-dimensional electron gas concentration under different gate voltages in step S2 is obtained by integrating the capacitance-voltage characteristic curve, i.e., the CV curve:) The two-dimensional electron gas under the gate at 0V bias can be obtained.
