In this paper, we present the fabrication and Direct Current/high voltage characterizations of AlN-based thin and thick channel AlGaN/GaN heterostructures that are regrown by molecular beam epitaxy on AlN/sapphire. A very high lateral breakdown voltage above 10 kV was observed on the thin channel structure for large contact distances. Also, the buffer assessment revealed a remarkable breakdown field of 5 MV/cm for short contact distances, which is far beyond the theoretical limit of the GaN-based material system. The potential interest of the thin channel configuration in AlN-based high electron mobility transistors is confirmed by the much lower breakdown field that is obtained on the thick channel structure. Furthermore, fabricated transistors are fully functional on both structures with low leakage current, low on-resistance, and reduced temperature dependence as measured up to 300 °C. This is attributed to the ultra-wide bandgap AlN buffer, which is extremely promising for high power, high temperature future applications.

AlGaAs/InGaAs high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The studied HEMTs use two AlAs layers as etch-stop layers in the selective-etch recessed-gate fabrication of the HEMTs. The influence of passivation using silicon nitride on HEMTs is examined. Passivation improves the dc, high-frequency, and power characteristics of AlGaAs/InGaAs HEMTs. The passivated HEMT has a maximum extrinsic transconductance of 207 mS/mm, a unity-current-gain frequency (fT) of 13 GHz, and a maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 26 GHz. Furthermore, the variation of dc characteristics of the passivated HEMT with temperature is reduced.

In this study, performances of double delta-doped AlGaAs/InGaAspseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors are investigated. Simulation results demonstrate good performance for this structure. Form simulation, the structure demonstrates a maximum current gain cutoff frequency of 145GHz for 100nm gate length, a peak extrinsic transconductance of 526mS/mm, and a maximum saturation current density of 350mA/mm.
