Short Term Reliability and Robustness of ultra-thin barrier, 110 nm-gate AlN/GaN HEMTs

Short-term reliability and robustness of 110 nm AlN/GaN HEMTs has been evaluated by means of off-state, semi-on state and on-state step stress tests on devices having different gate-drain distance, LGD. While breakdown voltages and critical voltages scale almost linearly with LGD, failure mode remains almost unchanged in all tested devices, and consists in an increase of gate leakage, accompanied by a positive shift of threshold voltage. In off-state, electroluminescence images detect the presence of localized leakage paths which may act as preferential paths for electron trapping. Degradation does not depend on dissipated power and is preliminary attributed to hot-electron trapping, enhanced by electric fields.

Vertical GaN Devices: Process and Reliability

This paper reviews recent progress and key challenges in process and reliability for high-performance vertical GaN transistors and diodes, focusing on the 200 mm CMOS-compatible technology. We particularly demonstrated the potential of using 200 mm diameter CTE matched substrates for vertical power transistors, and gate module optimizations for device robustness. An alternative technology path based on coalescence epitaxy of GaN-on-Silicon is also introduced, which could enable thick drift layers of very low dislocation density.
