Stress test measurements of lattice‐matched InAlN/AlN/GaN HFET structures

Abstract

InAlN/GaN heterostructures offer some benefits over existing AlGaN/GaN heterostructures for HFET device applications. In addition to having a larger bandgap than typical AlGaN compounds used in HFET devices (with Al 12 cm−2. We propose that the degradation is attributable to the buildup of hot phonons since the degradation rates as a function of electron density generally follow the hot phonon lifetime versus electron density. This provides evidence that hot phonons have a significant role in device degradation and there exists an optimal 2DEG density to minimize hot phonon related degradation. We did not observe any correlation between the degradation rate and the gate leakage.
