Abstract(in English) | AlGaN/GaN-HEMTs are promising device for microwave high power applications. AlGaN/GaN-HEMTs passivated by dielectric films such as Si_3N_4, show good frequency characteristics and high stability. However these passivation films have elastic stresses, which shift the FET characteristics due to the piezoelectric charge density around the edge of the gate. In this paper, we have investigated the stress effects of the passivation film on AlGaN/GaN-HEMT characteristics. We found that the large passivation stress increases the gate-leakage current and changes the threshold voltage towards the negative direction. These results indicate that the control of the passivation stress is an important consideration in AlGaN/GaN-HEMT fabrication. |
