Simulations are carried out to explore the possibility of achieving high breakdown voltage of GaN HEMT(high-electron mobility transistor).GaN cap layers with gradual increase in the doping concentration from2 × 10~(16) to 5 × 10~(19) cm~(-3) of N-type and P-type cap are investigated,respectively.Simulation results show that HEMT with P-doped GaN cap layer shows more potential to achieve higher breakdown voltage than N-doped GaN cap layer under the same doping concentration.This is because the ionized net negative space charges in P-GaN cap layer could modulate the surface electric field which makes more contribution to RESURF effect.Furthermore,a novel GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMT with P-doped GaN buried layer in GaN buffer between gate and drain electrode is proposed.It shows enhanced performance.The breakdown voltage of the proposed structure is640 V which is increased by 12%in comparison to UID(un-intentionally doped) GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMT.We calculated and analyzed the distribution of electrons’ density.It is found that the depleted region is wider and electric field maximum value is induced at the left edge of buried layer.So the novel structure with P-doped GaN buried layer embedded in GaN buffer has the better improving characteristics of the power devices.
Simulations are carried out to explore the possibility of achieving high breakdown voltage of GaN HEMT (high-electron mobility transistor) .GaN cap layers with gradual increase in the doping concentration from 2 × 10 16 to 5 × 10 19 cm ~ (-3) of N-type and P-type cap are investigated, respectively. Simulation results show that HEMT with P-doped GaN cap layer more potential to achieve higher breakdown voltage than N-doped GaN cap layer under the same doping concentration. This is because the ionized net negative space charges in P-GaN cap layer could modulate the surface electric field which makes more contribution to RESURF effect. Stillrther, a novel GaN / AlGaN / GaN HEMT with P-doped GaN buried layer in GaN buffer between gate and drain electrode is proposed. It shows enhanced performance. The breakdown voltage of the proposed structure is 640 V which is increased by 12% in comparison UID (un-intentionally doped) GaN / AlGaN / GaN HEMT.We calculated and analyzed the distribution of electro ns’ density. It is found that the depleted region is wider and the electric field maximum value is induced at the left edge of buried layer. So the novel structure with P-doped GaN buried layer embedded in GaN buffer has the better improving of the power devices.
