Investigation of Flicker Noise and Deep-Levels in GaN/AlGaN Transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report flicker noise measurements combined with deep-level transient spectroscopy of the doped and undoped channel GaN/AlGaN heterostructure field-effect transistors. The lowtemperature noise spectra for the doped devices show clear generation-recombination peaks. The value of the activation energy extracted from these noise peaks is consistent with the activation energies measured using deep-level spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the inputreferred noise spectral density of the undoped channel devices is much smaller (up to two orders of magnitude) than that of the doped channel devices with comparable electric characteristics. The additional defects due to doping add up to the generation-recombination and flicker noise. A. Balandin, et. al., J. Electron. Materials, 29, 297 (2000).

Low Flicker-Noise GaN/AlGaN Heterostructure Field-Effect Transistors for Microwave Communications
We report a detailed investigation of flicker noise in novel GaN/AlGaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (GaN HFET). Low values of 1=f noise found in these devices (i.e., the Hooge parameter is on the order of 10 ) open up the possibility for applications in communication systems. We have examined the scaling of the noise spectral density with the device dimensions in order to optimize t...

The gate-voltage dependence of the low-frequency noise in GaN/AlGaN heterostructure field-effect transistors has been investigated in the linear and subsaturation regimes of operation. Analysis of experimental data for different transistors indicates that the noise spectrum is dominated by the channel noise rather than noise originated in series resistors. The obtained results shed new light on...
