Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Anomalous gate leakage current and gate control anomaly in AlGaN/GaN HFETs having nanometer-scale Schottky gates were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. It was found that the gate leakage current in the nanometer-scale Schottky gates consisted a lateral tunneling current at the gate edge through the high electric field domain at gate periphery due to large potential difference between the gate metal and the AlGaN surface. The gate control characteristics of nanometer-scale Schottky gate was indicated to be controlled by a so called virtual gate, where the surface potential at the gate periphery was modulated by the lateral gate leakage current, and it should degrade the scalability of the gate control.
