The variation in DC performance of the AlGaN/GaN HEMT was analyzed by irradiating a proton energy of 15 MeV at proton fluence of 5 × 10<sup>13</sup> cm<sup>−2</sup>. During the pre-treatment process, the active region and mesa isolation region (Sample 1) and mesa isolation region (Sample 2) were treated with trimethylammonium (TMAH) solution, respectively. And the variation in transfer characteristics of before and after proton irradiation were compared. In terms of transfer characteristics of before and after proton irradiation, the drain current decreased after proton irradiation due to increase the sheet resistance and contact resistance. Also, acceptor-like and donor-like vacancies were generated on the AlGaN/GaN surface due to proton irradiation, inducing the displacement damage effect. In particular, the variation in on current (I<sub>on</sub>) increased by 7.26 percentage point (%p) when TMAH treatment in the Sample 2 compared to when TMAH treatment in the Sample 1 after proton irradiation. The damage caused by dry etching and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) plasma enhanced the proton irradiation effect because the AlGaN/GaN surface was not completely treated by the TMAH solution due to SiN deposition. These results demonstrate that the radiation hardness of GaN-based HEMTs is affected by the AlGaN/GaN surface quality and pre-treatment using TMAH solution is necessary to increase the resistance to proton irradiation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11037,"journal":{"name":"Current Applied Physics","volume":"75 ","pages":"Pages 33-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143928136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These composites demonstrate exceptional microwave absorption (MA) performance, particularly sample S2 (2 min CVD) which achieves an optimal minimum reflection loss of −53.25 dB at 6.56 GHz with 4 mm thickness, attributable to synergistic effects between the constituent materials. The outstanding performance stems from three primary mechanisms: (1) multi-component effects including enhanced multi-interface scattering/refraction from heterogeneous structures and optimized impedance matching that promotes efficient microwave penetration and dissipation; (2) CNTs-induced dielectric loss through strong dipole/interface polarization and conductive loss from the percolating network; and (3) Fe nanoparticle-mediated magnetic loss via natural resonance, exchange resonance, and eddy current effects at elevated frequencies.
