Abstract(in English) Al0.19Ga0.81N-channel metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) HFETs employing a quaternary AlGaInN barrier layer and a selectively regrown n+-GaN contact layer were fabricated. The ohmic contacts were formed via the self-alignment selective-area growth (SAG) process consisting of the local-area recess etching and subsequent refilling process with a highly-Si-doped n+-GaN layer by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The contact resistance is drastically reduced from 10.5 Ωmm to 2.5 Ωmm by using the self-alignment SAG contacts. In addition, the fabricated MIS-HFETs exhibited good pinch-off characteristics with highly improved on-state performance. That is, the device with a gate length of 1.5 μm and a drain-to-source length of 9.5 μm exhibited a high drain current density of over 300 mAmm-1 with a drain-to-source resistance of approximately 25 Ω mm. Furthermore, the fabricated devices also show a high off-state breakdown voltage of 1220 V at a gate-to-drain length of 10 μm.
