摘要
报道了一种利用高密度电感耦合等离子体CVD (HD-ICP-CVD)对0.1 /spl μ m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMTs进行氮化钝化的新方法。与PECVD沉积的氮化膜相比,HD-ICP-CVD沉积的氮化膜具有更低的湿HF蚀刻速率(高密度)和更低的氢浓度。钝化后表面漏电流减小;与PECVD钝化器件相比,其状态反向击穿电压提高了约40%。击穿电压的增加意味着毫米波频率下功率性能的潜在改善。HD-ICP-CVD钝化InP HEMT的成功证明了HD-ICP-CVD氮化沉积技术在下一代InP HEMT钝化技术中的应用。
Innovative nitride passivation of 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMTs using high-density inductively coupled plasma CVD (HD-ICP-CVD)
A novel nitride passivation of 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMTs using high-density inductively coupled plasma CVD (HD-ICP-CVD) is reported. The nitride films deposited by HD-ICP-CVD have a lower wet HF etch rate (high density) and lower hydrogen concentration than those deposited by PECVD. A reduction of surface leakage current after passivation was observed; resulting in an approximate 40% improvement of off-state reverse breakdown voltage over that of PECVD passivated devices. The increase in breakdown voltage implies a potential improvement in power performance at millimeter wave frequency. A successful demonstration of HD-ICP-CVD passivated InP HEMTs promises adoption of HD-ICP-CVD nitride deposition for the next-generation InP HEMT passivation technique.
