Tungsten-Gated GaN/AlGaN p-FET With Imax > 120 mA/mm on GaN-on-Si

Nadim Chowdhury et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates W-gated p-channel GaN/AlGaN heterojunction field effect transistors grown on GaN-on-Si wafers using MOCVD. The use of W as the gate metal induces higher turn-on voltage and lower gate leakage current compared to the commonly used Mo. Annealing in N-2 ambient at 500 degrees C is introduced to reduce channel resistance. The results show that W-gated p-FETs exhibit high current amplification and low resistance in different transistor sizes.
