Two different preparation techniques were used, electron beam evaporation (EBE) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The EBE contacts show more than 10-times lower specific contact resistance than those prepared by PLD. Characterization of the HFETs prepared yielded higher saturation drain current and peak transconductance if EBE ohmic contacts were used comparing to PLD ohmic contacts. An optimisation of the PLD procedure to be used at the Al0.3Ga0.7N/GaN device preparation is in progress.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"31 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114031266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influence of various neutron integral fluencies was studied at a set of detectors based on semi-insulating GaAs. Changes in the detection and electrical properties occurred at various neutron fluencies. Performance of the detectors before and after neutron irradiation was observed via detected spectra of Am radionuclide source. At lower fluencies of neutrons (~1012 n/cm2) the changes in detected spectra and also in current-voltage characteristics are negligible while in the detectors bombarded with higher neutron fluencies (~1013 n/cm2) a fast degradation of detection performance occurred. With increasing fluencies, a rise in the reverse current of the detectors was observed. These observations are the most probably caused by new lattice defects in the base material or overall detector structure (electrode interfaces, surface) created by neutrons.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129919909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peripheral area of the junction depletion region plays an important role on collecting photocarriers in the vicinity of photodiode limits.

Significant decrease of the drain current at the stressing conditions was observed. Simultaneously, a decrease of the gate currents was found. On the other hand, the transconductance and threshold voltage did not changed with the stressing time. A modification of the Schottky barrier during the stress is considered to explain this behaviour. Near-surface defects, created during the AlGaN surface preparation before the gate deposition, were suppressed as a result of performed high-electric-field stress.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127432022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
