Abstract

In this work, we perform AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT by using ZnO/Pr 2O3 as gate dielectric. After 600°C annealing, the XRD analysis shows ZnO thin films with highly crystalline characteristics, which exhibit a lattice constant (a=3.2498, c=5.2066) matched to GaN (a=3.1890, c=5.1855). The gate leakage current can be improved significantly by inserting ZnO/Pr2O3 dielectric layer; meanwhile, ZnO/Pr 2O3 MOS-HEMT shows superior breakdown voltage performance toward ZnO MOS-HEMT and conventional Ni/Au HEMT. From these results, ZnO/Pr 2O3 dielectric is promising for low leakage current of AlGaN/GaN based MOS-HEMT.
