A high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT), also known as heterostructure FET (HFET) or modulation-doped FET (MODFET), is a field-effect transistor incorporating a junction between two materials with different band gaps (i.e. a heterojunction) as the channel instead of a doped region (as is generally the case for MOSFET). A commonly used material combination is GaAs with AlGaAs, though there is wide variation, dependent on the application of the device. Devices incorporating more indium generally show better high-frequency performance, while in recent years, gallium nitride HEMTs have attracted attention due to their high-power performance. Like other FETs, HEMTs are used in integrated circuits as digital on-off switches. FETs can also be used as amplifiers for large amounts of current using a small voltage as a control signal. Both of these uses are made possible by the FET’s unique current-voltage characteristics. HEMT transistors are able to operate at higher frequencies than ordinary transistors, up to millimeter wave frequencies, and are used in high-frequency products such as cell phones, satellite television receivers, voltage converters, and radar equipment. They are widely used in satellite receivers, in low power amplifiers and in the defense industry.

ActiveUS20070224710A1Increase output powerReduce gate leakage currentSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingSemiconductor devicesPeak valueDislocation
A fluorine treatment that can shape the electric field profile in electronic devices in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions is disclosed. A method to increase the breakdown voltage of AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistors, by the introduction of a controlled amount of dispersion into the device, is also disclosed. This dispersion is large enough to reduce the peak electric field in the channel, but low enough in order not to cause a significant decrease in the output power of the device. In this design, the whole transistor is passivated against dispersion with the exception of a small region 50 to 100 nm wide right next to the drain side of the gate. In that region, surface traps cause limited amounts of dispersion, that will spread the high electric field under the gate edge, therefore increasing the breakdown voltage. Three different methods to introduce dispersion in the 50 nm closest to the gate are described: (1) introduction of a small gap between the passivation and the gate metal, (2) gradually reducing the thickness of the passivation, and (3) gradually reducing the thickness of the AlGaN cap layer in the region close the gate.
