Abstract
The electron mobility for the prepared AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistor (HFET) with the ratio of the gate length to the drain-to-source distance being less than 1/2 has been studied by comparing the measured electron mobility with the theoretical value. The measured electron mobility is derived from the measured capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, and the theoretical mobility is determined by using Matthiessen’s law, involving six kinds of important scattering mechanisms. For the prepared device at room temperature, longitudinal optical phonon scattering (LO scattering) was found to have a remarkable effect on the value of the electron mobility, and polarization Coulomb field scattering (PCF scattering ) was found to be important to the changing trend of the electron mobility versus the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density.
