A novel structure scheme by transposing the gate channel orientation from a long horizontal one to a short vertical one is proposed and verified by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations to achieve GaN-based normally-off high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with reduced on-resistance and improved threshold voltage. The proposed devices exhibit high threshold voltage of 3.1 V, high peak transconductance of 213 mS, and much lower on-resistance of 0.53 mΩ·cm2 while displaying better off-state characteristics owing to more uniform electric field distribution around the recessed gate edge in comparison to the conventional lateral HEMTs. The proposed scheme provides a new technical approach to realize high-performance normally-off HEMTs.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to simulate the effect of a BGaN back-barrier on performances of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) based on AlGaN/InGaN, by using TCAD 3D Silvaco simulator. We simulate some DC and AC characteristics; we note that with only 60 nm BGaN back-barrier layer and 3% of boron in BGaN, HEMT shows improvement of 33.34% in the maximum drain current, 64.7 % in the transconductance, 19% in the threshold voltage, 50% the drain-induced barrier lowering, 34.67% in the subthreshold swing, 20% in the breakdown voltage, 10.18% in the cut-off frequency, 12% in the maximum oscillation frequency, and record high ION/IOFF of over 1012.9.
