Abstract(in English) We report on device characteristics of AlGaN/GaN MIS HFETs with an Al_2O_3/Si_3N_4 bi-layer gate insulator. Attractive characteristics have been obtained, i.e., the gate leakage current was reduced by three to five orders of magnitude compared with that of normal HFETs, and the reduction in g_m was small which is induced by the insertion of a gate insulator. We fabricated a 0.1 μm gate-length channel-doped MIS HFET where a regrown ohmic structure was also incorporated. As the result of the regrown ohmic structure, the ohmic contact resistance was reduced from 0.7 to 0.3 mmΩ. In addition to the reduced gate leakage current, a high drain current of 1.2 A/mm and a high g_m of 280 mS/mm have been obtained. This is the highest g_m value ever reported in the category of MIS HFETs. The f_T and f_ were estimated to be as high as 56 and 74 GHz, respectively.
