A modified transferred-electron high-field mobility model for GaN devices simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approximation formula for electron high-field mobility in GaN is proposed. One is tested in wide range of temperatures and doping concentrations and is able to replicate the specific electron drift velocity dependence on electric field in GaN more accurately than conventionally used Canali and transferred-electron models. The simulations of the current–voltage characteristics of GaN metal–semiconductor–metal structure are performed for considered electron high-field mobility models. Simulations are compared with available experimental data. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. PACS: 81.05.Ea; 85.30.De; 85.30.Tv

2-d Simulation of Hot Electron-phonon Interactions in a Submicron Gallium Nitride Device Using Hydrodynamic Transport Approach
In this study, a thermal and electrical coupled device solver is developed to simulate the energy transfer mechanism within a GaN FET with a gate length of 0.2 mm. The simulation simultaneously solves a set of hydrodynamic equations (derived from the Boltzmann Transport Equation) and the Poisson equation for electron, optical phonon and acoustic phonon energies, electron number density, electri...
متن کاملModeling of Electron Transport in GaN-Based Materials and Devices
Material models which incorporate the basic characteristics of the underlying physics in a given semiconductor material are the core of device modeling. We employ a Monte Carlo (MC) technique to investigate stationary electron transport in GaN and AlGaN [1]. We obtain a set of model parameters which gives agreement with experimental data available for different physical conditions (doping, temp...

متن کاملHydrodynamic Modeling of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
For the needs of high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) optimization a reliable software simulation tool is required. Due to the high electric field in the device channel a hydrodynamic approach is used to properly model the electron transport. We modify an existing hydrodynamic mobility model in order to achieve a better agreement with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data and measured DC and A...
