Popis: | Abstract The authors report a novel structure to improve the high‐frequency performance of nitrogen‐polar GaN deep‐recess high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) wherein a timed plasma etch was used to tailor the profile of the gate dielectric. A favourable trade‐off between gate fringing capacitance and transconductance was established, resulting in an improved current gain cutoff frequency times gate length (ft·LG) figure of merit compared to standard Schottky‐gate and metal‐insulator‐semiconductor (MIS) HEMTs. The etched gate dielectric MISHEMT demonstrated a maximum ft·LG of 15.0 GHz·µm for an LG of 100 nm. |
