InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si for RF applications by Xing, Weichuan

“…A thin layer of oxide between the metal gate and the thin InAlN barrier and form a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) gate in the Planar nanostrip-channel GaN HEMT, gate leakage current was reduced and thus increase the gate voltage swing and drain current swing. The results show that the Planar nanostrip-channel Al2O3/InAlN/GaN MISHEMTs is able to work at up to Vg = +4 V and the linearity performance was further improved. …”

Ohmic contact formation to β-Ga2O3 nanosheet transistors with Ar-containing plasma treatment by Chen, Jinxin, Liu, Bingyan, Gu, Yang, Li, Bin

“…With the optimal plasma pre-treatment (i.e., Ar plasma, 100 W, 60 s), the resulting β-Ga2O3 nanosheet field-effect transistors (FETs) show effective Ohmic contact (i.e., contact resistance RC of 104 Ω·mm) without any post-annealing, which leads to competitive device performance such as a high current on/off ratio (>107), a low subthreshold swing (SS, 249 mV/dec), and acceptable field-effect mobility ((Formula presented.), ~21.73 cm2 V−1 s−1). …”
