Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the frequency characteristic of AlGaN / GaN HEMT, which comprises: wiring a millimeter-wave GaN HEMT device with a conventional structure, and then forming a metal protection pattern on the surface of the device by optical lithography; The wet etching process performs a medium corrosion on the device; peels and removes the glue on the etched device. The invention reduces parasitic capacitances of the gate source and the gate drain, and improves the cut-off frequency (ft) and the highest oscillation frequency (fmax) of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of structural design of a high electron mobility field effect transistor (HEMT), in particular to a method for improving frequency characteristics of an aluminum gallium nitride / gallium nitride HEMT (AlGaN / GaN HEMT). Background technique [0002] Millimeter-band power amplifiers have great application prospects in military, commercial and consumer fields. High-frequency broadband wireless communication technology, precision guided weapons, long-range radar and space communication technology, the working frequency band is gradually developing from C and X bands to higher frequency bands such as Ku and Ka. [0003] As a third-generation semiconductor material, GaN materials have a wide band gap, high breakdown electric field, and high output power. Because they can work under high voltage and have low on-resistance, GaN devices also show higher gain. At the same time, GaN devices have high electron mobility a...
