Energy Optimization of As+ Ion Implantation on SiO2 Passivation Layer of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have fabricated SiO2 passivated AlGaN/GaN HEMTs and employed As+ ion implantation on the passivation layer and optimized the implantation energy. After As+ ion implantation with 120 keV energy and 1 × 1014 /cm2 dose, the maximum drain current, maximum transconductance and the breakdown voltage increased to 419.6 mA/mm, 87.9 mS/mm and 698 V while those of the conventional device was 317.0 mA/mm, 65.1 mS/mm and 639 V, respectively.
