abstract = {Performance of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect
transistors (HFETs) with recessed gate was investigated and
compared with non-recessed counterparts. Optimal dry etch
conditions by plasma assisted Ar sputtering were found for
similar to 6 nm gate recess of a 20 nm thick AlGaN barrier
layer. A decrease of the residual strain after the gate
recessing (from -0.9 GPa to -0.68 GPa) was evaluated from
the photoluminescence measurement. The saturation drain
current at the gate voltage V-G = 1 V decreased from 1.05
A/mm to 0.85 A/mm after the recessing. The gate voltage for
a maximal transconductance (240-250 mS/mm) has shifted from
-3 V for non-recessed HFETs to -0.2 V for recessed
counterparts. Similarly, the threshold voltage increased
after the gate recessing. A decrease of the sheet charge
density from 1 x 10(13) cm(-2) to 4 x 10(12) cm(-2) at V-G =
0 V has been evaluated from the capacitance measurements.
The RF measurements yielded a slight increase of the cut-off
frequencies after the gate recessing. All these indicate
that the gate recessing is a useful tool to optimize the
AlGaN/GaN HFET performance for high-frequency applications
as well as for the preparation of normally-off devices. (C)
