Abstract
We compare basic physical parameters of Al/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/N-GaN quantum well with In/sub 0.17/Al/sub 0.83/N/GaN and In/sub 0.17/Al/sub 0.83/N/In/sub 0.10/Ga/sub 0.90/N quantum well parameters, respectively. It is shown that in comparison to conventional AlGaN/GaN approach, structures based on InAlN/(In)GaN should exhibit two to three times higher quantum well polarization-induced charge. We use high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) analytical model to calculate InAlN(In)GaN HEMTs drain currents and transconductances. A 3.3 A/mm and 2.2 A/mm drain current was calculated for In/sub 0.17/Al/sub 0.83/N/In/sub 0.10/Ga/sub 0.90/N and In/sub 0.17/Al/sub 0.83/N/GaN HEMTs, respectively. This represents up to 205% current increase if compared with AlGaN/GaN HEMT and a record power performance can be expected for new structures.Keywords
