  3. Overview of InGaAs HEMT • Advantage for use in low noise and high frequency device • their high electron mobility & high sheet carrier density & high saturation drift velocity if the InAlAs/InGaAs 2DEG system • Conventional InP HEMT structure : high contact and gate electrode can cause large parasitic source and drain resistances (by the large conductance band discontinuity between the InGaAs cap layer and InAlAs layer, forming a barrier in the current flow between these layers)

  4. I. Introduction • Why? I. Superior to GaAs or InGaAs channel devices a) their low-field mobility b) higher-lying satellite valleys c) deeper quantum well depth d) higher overshoot velocity II. Scaling Factor (for sub 0.1um device) • As Lg decreases, an appropriate aspect ratio has to be maintained to alleviate short channel Effect. • Also, Channel thickness has to be reduced for proper aspect ratio (∵ The thinning of barrier layer is limited by current tunneling) • Disadvantage ( Reducing of sheet carrier density in a channel and Undesired scattering phenomena because of hetero-junction interface and the enhancement of ionized dopant in supply layer)

  5.

  7. Issue of the InAs Inserted HEMT I. The Design of Subchannel of InAs for composite channel (dependence of a) Temperature & Thickness b) Enhancement of carrier transport ) II. The Normal and Inverted HEMT Structure III. AlSb/InAs HEMT (The Growth on S.I GaAs )

  8. Physics • The Basic Idea of Composite Channel • Low field channel region => electrons are mostly located in the high-mobility, small bandgap InGaAs layer • High field channel region => The energy of the electrons increases and more and more electrons populate the InP layer => Because of the larger bandgap, the rate of impact ionization in InP is smaller compared to that in the InGaAs channel => While the low-field mobility of InP is smaller than that of InGaAs, the high-field transport properties, especially the saturation velocity, are better in InP

  9. Physics • Band Structure Calculation and Electron Transport (Ref.2) • Γ-valley mass of strained InAs (parallel<Perpendicular) • => The strain brings about an increase of the InAs band gap of 0.12eV

  10. Physics • Monte Carlo Simulation • Include polar optical phonon scattering and inter-valley deformation potential scattering at 300K 26% enhancement 16% enhancement The reduction of slope Wide Γ-L band separation in InAs =L enhancement of electron heating Over 7kV/cm Electron energy of strained InAs> unstrained InAs => Smaller effective mass L & X valley of strained InAs => Higher energy

  11. II. The Design of Subchannel (Ref.3) a)Mobility tested the function of Z and Lw b) This test’s result is Z=3nm and Lw=4nm (Consideration of Carrier Modulation and Short Channel Effect) => 13000cm2/Vs

  12. II. The Design of Subchannel • The Thickness of InAs Inserted HEMT (Another Test) (Ref. 4) • Double Sided Delta-doping을 이용 (for low output conductance and kink-free I/V Characteristic) a) The Enhancement of the electron transport property b) 47% electron mobility improvement 40% the effective electron velocity increment (@ 300K)

  13. II. The Design of Subchannel • Design Issue (Ref.5) • 3.5% lattice mismatch of InAs on InP --- Structure A Structure B Cap n In0.53Ga0.47As n In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As Cap n In0.53Ga0.47As n In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As Barrier I In0.52Al0.48As Barrier I In0.52Al0.48As Spacer i In0.52Al0.48As Spacer i In0.52Al0.48As Channel i In0.53Ga0.47As Channel i In0.53Ga0.47As Channel i In0.7Ga0.3As Channel i In0.3Ga0.7As Channel i InAs Channel i InAs Channel i In0.7Ga0.3As Channel i In0.3Ga0.7As Channel i In0.53Ga0.47As Channel i In0.53Ga0.47As Buffer i In0.52Al0.48As Buffer i In0.52Al0.48As InP Substrate InP Substrate 17% population increment 10% gm increment 8% ft increment (A: 220 GHz B:238 GHz @0.1um Lg) Compressively strained channel Structure A Tensilely strained channel Structure B

  14. II. The Design of Subchannel • AlAs/InAs Superlattice Structure (Channel Composition Modulation Transistor) (Ref. 7) • For high electron sheet carrier density and good carrier confinement and high electron transport • To improve the thermal stability of InP HEMT a) Epi-Structure b) Band Structure 0.2um T-Gate Mobility 18300 cm2/Vs ft=180GHz gm = 1370 ms/mm -0.12eV ->-0.17eV 20% improvement of electron confinement

  15. III. Normal VS Inverted HEMT (Ref. 8) a) Normal InAs Inserted Channel HEMT : high output conductance and low breakdown voltage • InAs Inserted Channel Inverted HEMT : channel layer located on the carrier supply layer => low output conductance (∵ superior to electron confinement and smaller distance between gate and channel) C) Little kink-effect and a high breakdown voltage

  16. III. Normal VS Inverted HEMT • The enhancement of mobility characteristic • The scattering cased by ionized donor and interface roughness Low effective mass and high mobility in Inverted HEMT

  17. AlSb/InAs HEMT (ref. 9) a) For high speed and low bias application (∵ high electron mobility and velocity, high sheet charge density and good carrier confinement) b) Disadvantage: charge control problem associated with impact ionization in the InAs channel (will increase as the Lg is reduced due to the higher fields present) b) Band Structure a) Epi-Structure

  18. IV. AlSb/InAs HEMT 6.1A lattice constant AlSb/InAs conduction band discontinuity 1.35eV • Lattice Matched System (Ref. 10) I. Current Status 1. Epitaxial Growth Buffer (interface roughness scattering) 2. Impact Ionization Effect a) dominant for short gate-length when the drain bias exceeds the energy bandgap in the channel => Thinner channel scheme (kink effect and low output conductance, transconductance and peak current density) need for trade-off of channel thickness and device performance.

  19. IV. AlSb/InAs HEMT • 개선방안 a.Need a good buffer for good surface morphology and good carrier transport characteristic b. Thin InAs channel thickness

  20. Conclusion I. Design of Subchannel Band a. InAs thickness for high speed and carrier confinement b. for better performance high sheet carrier density and mobility and carrier confinement (In0.8Ga0.2As/InAs/In0.8Ga0.2As channel) ∵ 3.5 % InAs mismatch in the channel • For Low kink effect and high breakdown voltage and the improvement of carrier mobility and sheet carrier density => Inverted HEMT III. For low cost and similar bandgap engineering compared with InP HEMT => AlSb/InAs HEMT
