This effect not only decreases transconductance (g/sub m/) at high gate bias but also degrades power gain and efficiency for large-signal operation. High indium content channel would allow an increase in conduction band offset, and hence, suppression of the parallel conduction, but due to the lattice mismatch, the reliability of the device might be affected, and therefore, the maximum allowable InAs mole fraction is limited. In this paper, we propose a graded superlattice channel transistor (GST), which reduces parallel conduction while suppressing an increase of strain in the channel.","PeriodicalId":326645,"journal":{"name":"1995 53rd Annual Device Research Conference Digest","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125557028","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}

SiC MESFETs are very promising candidates for RF power amplification, due to their unique combination of high saturation velocity, high breakdown strength, and high thermal conductivity. In the present work, we demonstrate for the first time high efficiency RF power operation at 6 GHz. We have obtained power output of 35 W, with 45.5% power added efficiency at 6 GHz from a 6-H SiC MESFET operating at a drain bias of 40 V. The gate length and width were 0.5 /spl mu/m and 2 mm respectively. The corresponding power density is 1.75 W/mm and is more than a factor of 3 higher than that obtained normally in GaAs. To our knowledge, these results represent the highest power output, efficiency, and operating frequency reported to date in SiC. The power MESFETs were fabricated on high resistivity SiC substrates grown at Westinghouse. Sintered Ni ohmic contacts, mesa isolation, and channel recessing using RIE were used in device fabrication. Air-bridge source interconnects were used for large periphery devices.

It is known that in quantum well structures, emission of LO phonons is the main carrier capture mechanism. The LO-phonon scattering rate depends on the Froelich matrix element and the overlap of the initial and final wave functions squared. In a step quantum well with a high ratio of the step width to the well width the wave function overlap of the state in the step and the state in the well is reduced and thus a longer capture time results. If the carriers of the state in the well can be removed by an adjacent quantum well by tunneling, population inversion can be realized.","PeriodicalId":326645,"journal":{"name":"1995 53rd Annual Device Research Conference Digest","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131709008","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}

This has been attributed to the light hole-heavy hole band splitting which results in less band mixing and a smaller in-plane effective mass.
