Abstract

High quality undoped AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs) structures have been gorwn by Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE). The morphology of the films grown on Al2O3 substrates is excellent with root-mean-square roughness of ∼0.2nm over 10×10μm2 measurement area. Capacitance-voltage measurements show formation of dense sheet of charge at the AlGaN/GaN interface. HEMTs with 1μm gate length fabricated on these structures show transconductances in excess of 110 mS/mm and drain-source current above 0.6A/mm. Gate lag measurements show similar current collapse characteristics to HEMTs fabricated in MBE- or MOCVD grown material.
