Abstract
Direct-current transfer characteristics of (InGaN)/AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterojunction field effect transistors (HFETs) are presented. A drain current plateau (IDS = 32.0mA/mm) for VGS swept from +0.7V to -0.6V is present in the transfer characteristics of InGaN/AlGaN/AlN/GaN HFETs. The theoretical calculation shows the coexistence of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in InGaN/AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructures, and the screening effect of 2DHG to the 2DEG in the conduction channel can explain this current plateau. Moreover, the current plateau shows the time-dependent behavior when IDS-VGSscans repeated are conducted. The obtained insight provides indication for the design in the fabrication of GaN-based super HFETs.
