Popis: AlGaN/GaN HEMT with AlN passivation is proposed and investigated. Effectiveness of AlN passivation is analyzed and compared with SiN, SiO2, Al2O3, and HfO2 passivation materials. The performance of these passivation materials are analyzed using Technological Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulation. The potential, polarization charge, energy band diagram of the GaN HEMT are analyzed. GaN device with AlN passivation exhibits higher drain current than other passivation materials. Hence, AlN passivation is an excellent passivation material for GaN-HEMT in higher drive current application.
