Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An N-polar GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has an advantage over a Ga-polar HEMT from viewpoints of a potential to realize low ohmic contact resistance on both source and drain due to the electrodes are formed on the top GaN layers, and better carrier confinement due to its natural back barrier. In this work, the N-polar GaN/Al0.32Ga0.68N/GaN heterostructure with a smooth interface has been demonstrated by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) grown on a 0.8º off-cut sapphire substrate. To suppress the gate leakage current, a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) gate structure with a 10-nm-thick SiNx insulator layer has been introduced. The gate leakage current has been drastically suppressed by this MIS-HEMT in comparison with a Schottky gate HEMT. As a result, this MIS-HEMT realizes a pinch-off operation with a threshold voltage of -9 V. A prototype N-polar GaN MIS-HEMT also exhibits a promising device characteristic with a maximum current density of over 500 mA/mm.
