The parameters of open-gate structures treated with different etching time were monitored during the gate recess process, and their impacts on the threshold voltage (Vth) of final fabricated AlGaN/ GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) based on open-gate structures were discussed in this paper. It is found that Vth can exceed 0V when channel resistance in the recessed region (Ron-open) increases over ~275 Ω mm, maximum current (IDmax) decreases below ~29 mA/mm, or recessed barrier thickness (tRB) is below ~7.5 nm. In addition, tRB obtained by atomic force microscopy measurements and C-V measurements are also compared. Finally, theoretical common criteria based on the experimental results of this work for tRB and Ron-open were established to evaluate the Vth of a regular normally-off AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. The results indicate that these parameters of open-gate structure can be utilized to achieve normally-off HEMTs with controllable Vth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
