A crack-free AlGaN/GaN heterostructure was grown on 4-inch Si (111) substrate with initial dot-like AlSiC precoverage layer. It is believed that introducing the AlSiC layer between AlN wetting layer and Si substrate is more effective in obtaining a compressively stressed film growth than conventional Al precoverage on Si surface. The metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET), fabricated on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure grown with the AlSiC layer, exhibited normally on characteristics, such as threshold voltage of −2.3 V, maximum drain current of 370 mA/mm, and transconductance of 124 mS/mm.

An improved ultrahigh upper gate 4H-SiC metal semiconductor field effect transistor (IUU-MESFET) is proposed in this paper. The structure is obtained by modifying the ultrahigh upper gate height h of the ultrahigh upper gate 4H-SiC metal semiconductor field effect transistor (UU-MESFET) structure, and the h is 0.1 μm and 0.2 μm for the IUU-MESFET and UU-MESFET, respectively. Compared with the UU-MESFET, the IUU-MESFET structure has a greater threshold voltage and trans-conductance, and smaller breakdown voltage and saturation drain current, and when the ultrahigh upper gate height h is 0.1 μm, the relationship between these parameters is balanced, so as to solve the contradictory relationship that these parameters cannot be improved simultaneously. Therefore, the power added efficiency (PAE) of the IUU-MESFET structure is increased from 60.16% to 70.99% compared with the UU-MESFET, and advanced by 18%.

Background: This work describes the implementation of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP Surrounding Metal Gate Oxide Semiconductor Heterostructure Field Effect Transistor (SG MOSHFET) with gate underlap on both source and drain end to improve the DC and RF performance. Methods: A comprehensive and methodological investigation of DC and RF performance of III-V semiconductor are made for different underlap length varying from 5nm to 30nm on both sides of the device, which is used to mitigate the short channel issues to improve the device performance. Hydrodynamic model has been taken into consideration for the device simulation and it also includes Auger recombination and the Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) model. Simulation is performed to analyze the various analog performance of device like drain current, surface potential, transconductance, threshold voltage, drain induced barrier lowering, off current, subthreshold slope, Ion/Ioff ratio, output conductance, intrinsic delay, energy-delay product, transconductance generation factor and radio frequency performance of device, like trans-frequency product and cut-off frequency. Results: From the simulation, it can be observed that an improved analog and RF performance is obtained at the optimum underlap length. Conclusion: This work delivers an idea for extended researchers to investigate different aspects of group III–V underlap MOSFETs.

Abstract Environmental changes and increased virus effects in COVID-19 like the situation is forcing the design and researchers to develop highly sensitive, low power and low cost mean to detect the presence of biomolecules of different shapes, sizes, and their effects on the human being. Ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (IS-FET) is a biological sensor based on the architecture of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOS-FET). The gate terminal is replaced with a hollow space filled by electrolyte solution and reference electrode at the external surface. The biomolecular enzyme in contact with membrane enters in solution induce net DC potential, alter the oxide surface. The alteration of surface puts variation in threshold voltage and maps on the deflection of drain current. ISFET measures the concentration of charged particles (ions) in the solution; variation into ion concentration produces deflection in the drain current. In this work numerical simulation of ISFET is performed with ENBIOS-2D Lab at Nanohub platform with dielectric SiO2, Al2O3, HfO2 with NaCl and KCl in solution. Channel resistance and capacitance with 3-different electric shows a large variation of capacitance, result in threshold voltage i.e. 318.2 mV with SiO2 and 319.2 mV with Al2O3.

AbstractIncorporation of Si ion implantation to GaN metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) processing has been demonstrated. The channel and source/drain regions formed using Si ion implantation into undoped GaN on sapphire substrate. In comparison with the conventional devices without ion implanted source/drain structures, the ion implanted devices showed excellent device performance. On-state resistance reduces from 210 Ω-mm to 105 Ω-mm. Saturation drain current and maximum transconductance increase from 36 mA/mm to 78 mA/mm and from 3.8 mS/mm to 10 mS/mm, respectively.
