This paper reports on the AlGaN/GaN Schottky diodes (SDs) and high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on a semi-insulating SiC substrate. The electronic devices demonstrate an improved performance in comparison with the ones processed on a sapphire substrate. Both the SDs and HEMTs show much smaller leakage current density and a higher ION/IOFF ratio, reaching values down to 3.0±1.2 mA/cm2 and up to 70 dB under the reverse electric field of 340 kV/cm, respectively. The higher thermal conductivity of the SiC substrate leads to the increase of steady current and transconductance, and better thermal management of the HEMT devices. In addition, a successful detection of terahertz (THz) waves with the AlGaN/GaN HEMT is demonstrated at room temperature. These results open further routes for the optimization of THz designs which may result in development of novel plasmonic THz devices.

Efficient heat removal through the substrate is required in high-power operation of AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). Thus, a SiC substrate was used due to its popularity. This article reports the electrical characteristics of normally off p-GaN gate AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on a low-resistivity SiC substrate compared with the traditional Si substrate. The p-GaN HEMTs on the SiC substrate possess several advantages, including electrical characteristics and good qualities of epitaxial crystals, especially on temperature performance. Additionally, the price of the low-resistivity SiC substrate is three times lower than the ordinary SiC substrate.
