ABSTRACTElectron transport properties and DC device characteristics have been examined in the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) with back-doping design that makes it possible to obtain high two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) densities even for the devices with thin AlGaN barrier layers. In the back-doping design, an asymmetric double-heterostructure is employed, and donor atoms are doped not only in the surface-side AlGaN layer but also in the underlying AlGaN layer. In this structure, electrons are efficiently supplied also from the back-doped AlGaN barrier layer to the GaN channel and merged into a single 2DEG layer, with the help of the negative polarization charges at the heterointerface between the GaN channel and the underlying AlGaN barrier layer. By using back-doping design, very high 2DEG densities around 3×1013 cm−2 has been achieved in the Al0.3Ga0.7N/GaN HFET whose barrier layer (Al0.3Ga0.7N) is designed to be as thin as 120 Å. An HFET with the gate-length of 1.5 μm has exhibited a high current density of 1.2 A/mm and a high transconductance of 200 mS/mm, which is ascribed to high 2DEG densities and thin barrier layers in these devices. HFETs with the back-doping design are thus promising for high-power applications.
