Abstract

AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors with different Al compositions and barrier thicknesses were compared. The samples with higher Al composition and similar 2-D electron gas density showed higher gate leakage, utilizing a slant field plate gate process. By applying a gate recess etch and a slant field plate gate process, gate leakage was improved to a similar level for all the devices, and the power density and PAE were much improved.
