A method to enhance the breakdown voltage performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using post-annealing technique is reported in this paper. The transistors were annealed at 900 /spl deg/C for 30 seconds in a rapid thermal annealing system. After metallization, devices were annealed at 700 /spl deg/C in a furnace to improve breakdown voltages. The typical drain current-voltage characteristics of HEMTdevice with 0.3 /spl mu/m gate length and 100 /spl mu/m gate width is studied by experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to characterize, to compare different types of tunnel oxides and to determine the impact on the MB (Moving Bit measurement) issues. The measurements and comparison carried out for the following tunnel oxide thickness in the range of 8 to 10 nm is used. They are: (1) Dry oxidation at 900 C which gives acceptable oxide quality in the thickness range of 100 /spl Aring/ (2) 5% O/sub 2/ diluted oxidation at 900 C, (3) 5% O/sub 2/ diluted oxidation at 960 C and (4) Wet oxidation at 750 C which gives superior results even for a minimal oxide thickness of 88.9 /spl Aring/.

A novel type of interband-RTD (I-RTD) based upon staggered-bandgap heterostructures was investigated. A detailed theoretical analysis of the time-dependent characteristics of an I-RTD based upon a type-II resonant tunneling heterostructure is presented. Specifically, an AlGaSb/InAs/AlGaSb double-barrier structure was considered to determine the influence of multi-band transport effects on the static and dynamic behavior of the I-RTD device.

In this paper, we present a scaled transistor processed with the improved technology, resulting in the enhancement of its electrical performance. The electrical characteristics such as collector-emitter breakdown, charge sharing of the processed transistor is presented. The electrical properties of HCBTs are compared with the existing LBTs (Lateral Bipolar Transistors). This HCBT technology was applied in the BiCMOS integration with FinFETs.

In this presentation, we report strain induced compositional pulling phenomenon in high Al content AlGaN films grown on AlN-coated sapphire substrates. It was found that Al constituent in a high Al content AlGaN film was expelled out of the film in the initial stage of the growth followed by the growth of a AlGaN film having higher Al content. The AlGaN films were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) for composition evaluation. Absorption spectroscopy was employed for the measurements of absorption spectra of the AlGaN films.

Recent progress in CMOS LSI fabrication technology made possible to achieve nanometre-size silicon device. The devices should operate with CMOS transistors to efficiently use high sophisticated CMOS technologies. To achieve high functionality, especially using silicon as a base the difficulty arises in making the coherent length sufficiently longer than the device size. Another candidate is a single-electron transistor (SET), which does not use coherency. The device manipulates a single electron by means of a Coulomb blockade. Fabricating SETs using Si MOS process has been useful in overcoming because SETs were combined with MOSFET. This allows to emphasize the special functionality of SETs like multiple-valued operation, and high voltage gain.

Bipolar transistors with multiple emitters are used to achieve high currents and the maximum utilization of emitter area. The multi-emitter SiGe HBTs fabricated in a modified Si BiCMOS technology is studied in this paper. The heating and thermal coupling between the emitters of a multiple emitter SiGe HBT were measured along the emitter length. This measurement provides useful information about the temperature increases in multi-emitter devices and the emitter-emitter thermal coupling. Temperature dependence of the normalized emitter currents and power dependence of the monitored emitter currents were studied through experiments.

Heteroepitaxial growth of group III nitride layers on SiC substrates by hydride vapour phase epitaxy (HVPE) is described in this paper. AlN, GaN, and AlGaN epitaxial layers were grown on 2-inch SiC substrates with a growth rate ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 /spl ges/m/min. The reciprocal space maps for the thin and thick AlN layers grown on SiC substrates is presented. Dependence of etch pit density in AlN layers on layer thickness is illustrated. X-ray theta-omega scan for GaN/AlN/SiC heterostructure was showed.
