Abstract
The THz photoresponse of four different structures of N‐ and Ga‐polar AlGaN/GaN plasma wave high‐electron‐mobility transistors (HEMTs) has been comparatively investigated. Based on these results, an improved N‐polar plasma wave HEMT detector is proposed: an AlGaN cap layer is introduced in the standard N‐polar HEMT, so as to obtain a lower gate leakage current, thus improving the operating characteristics of plasma wave HEMT. The results show that the responsivity of the improved N‐polar HEMT obtains a significant improvement and as the Al component of AlGaN cap layer increases, the noise equivalent power of the improved N‐polar HEMT has also been optimized.
我们对四种不同结构的 N 极和 Ga 极 AlGaN/GaN 等离子体波高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)的太赫兹光响应进行了比较研究。根据这些结果,提出了一种改进的 N 极等离子体波 HEMT 检测器:在标准 N 极 HEMT 中引入 AlGaN 盖层,以获得更低的栅极漏电流,从而改善等离子体波 HEMT 的工作特性。结果表明,改进型 N 极 HEMT 的响应率得到了显著提高,而且随着 AlGaN 盖层中 Al 成分的增加,改进型 N 极 HEMT 的噪声等效功率也得到了优化。
