A numerical simulation study accounting for trap and defect effects on the current-voltage characteristics of a 4H-SiC-based power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is performed in a wide range of temperatures and bias conditions. In particular, the most penalizing native defects in the starting substrate (i.e., EH6/7 and Z1/2) as well as the fixed oxide trap concentration and the density of states (DoS) at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface are carefully taken into account. The temperature-dependent physics of the interface traps are considered in detail. Scattering phenomena related to the joint contribution of defects and traps shift the MOSFET threshold voltage, reduce the channel mobility, and penalize the device current capabilities. However, while the MOSFET on-state resistance (RON) tends to increase with scattering centers, the sensitivity of the drain current to the temperature decreases especially when the device is operating at a high gate voltage (VGS). Assuming the temperature ranges from 300 K to 573 K, RON is about 2.5 MΩ·µm2 for VGS > 16 V with a percentage variation ΔRON lower than 20%. The device is rated to perform a blocking voltage of 650 V.

Electronic devices based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show potential for circuit miniaturization due to their superior electrical characteristics and reduced dimensionality. The CNT field effect transistors (CNFETs) offer breakthrough in miniaturization of various electronic circuits. Investigation of ballistic transport governing the operation of CNFETs is essential for understanding the device's functional behavior. This investigation is focused on a study of current–voltage characteristics of device behavior in hard saturation region. The investigation utilizes a set of current–voltage characteristics obtained on typical devices. This work is an extension of our earlier work describing application of our approach to Si -MOSFET behavior in the saturation region.

ABSTRACTWe have observed gate-controlled N-shaped negative differential resistance (NDR) and photoconductivity enhancement in carbon nanotube (CNT) based addressable intra-connects. The intra-connects – bridges spanning across planar electrodes – were measured at room temperature. Individual single-walled CNT (SWCNT) channels were grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) precisely between very sharp metal tips on the pre-fabricated electrodes without post-processing. The electrodes were made of cobalt. Methane and H2 gas mixture were introduced into quartz tube for an hour at 900 C, with flow rate of 1900 sccm for methane and 20 sccm for H2. We have investigated two different cases: in one case, the source-drain current-voltage, Ids-Vds, characteristics were linear. The other case exhibited nonlinear Ids-Vds characteristics. Raman scattering of the intra-connects indicated that each were made of SWCNT with radial breathing mode (RBM) at 191.9 cm-1 and 176.2 cm-1, respectively. Current-voltage Ids-Vds characteristics were measured for various Vgs from -10 V to +10 V. Negative differential resistance (NDR) was found in the Ids-Vgs curves for gate bias in the region of -3>Vgs>-6 V. The NDR peak was shifted to the negative side as the source-drain voltage was increased from Vds=0 to 0.75 V. Otherwise, the intra-connects exhibited characteristics of an ordinary p-type channel. The experiments were repeated under white light illumination. The light increases the carrier density in the channel but not in the metal electrodes and allowed us to study the effective doping of the channel without affecting the work function of the SWCNT/metal contact. The overall channel conductance increased under the light irradiation. Under illumination, the devices became more stable, as well. In summary, we have investigated contact properties between a SWCNT intra-connect and metal electrodes in a well controlled layout settings.

High electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been developed based on InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures on an InP substrate, with a transconductance of about 1000 mS/mm, a reverse breakdown voltage of more than 10 V and a unity-gain cutoff frequency is 140 GHz. In addition, HEMT transistors based on AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures on a GaAs substrate with double gate recessing technology have been developed. This transistors demonstrate a maximum measured transconductance of the current-voltage characteristic of 520 mS/mm, a maximum drain current of 670 mA/mm, and a gate-drain breakdown voltage of 14 V and a unity-gain cut-off frequency is 120 GHz. Due to the increased breakdown voltage, the developed transistors have been used in monolithic integrated circuits of millimeter-wave power amplifiers with an output power of more than 110 mW.

In this paper, we compare and discuss the main techniques for the analysis of the dynamic performance of GaN-based transistors. The pulsed current-voltage characterization provides information on the effect of different trapping voltages on various bias points of the device under test, leading to the detection of all the possible effects, as well as to the choice of the optimal filling and measure bias conditions in other techniques. The drain current transients use one of the identified bias configurations to extract information on the deep level signature responsible for the performance variation and, thus, they can pinpoint the corresponding physical crystal lattice configuration, providing useful information to the growers on how the issue can be solved. Finally, given the complex interplay between the filling and emission time constants, the gate frequency sweeps can be used to obtain the real performance in the target operating condition.
