Fabrication and Evaluation of N-Channel GaN Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors Based on Regrown and Implantation Methods.

ABSTRACT: We have demonstrated the enhancement-mode n-channel gallium nitride (GaN) metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) on homoepitaxial GaN substrates using the selective area regrowth and ion implantation techniques. Both types of MOSFETs perform normally off operations. The GaN-MOSFETs fabricated using the regrowth method perform superior characteristics over the other relative devices fabricated using the ion implantation technique. The electron mobility of 100 cm2/V·s, subthreshold of 500 mV/dec, and transconductance of 14 ?s/mm are measured in GaN-MOSFETs based on the implantation technique. Meanwhile, the GaN-MOSFETs fabricated using the regrowth method perform the electron mobility, transconductance, and subthreshold of 120 cm2/V s, 18 ?s/mm, and 300 mV/dec, respectively. Additionally, the MOSFETs with the regrown p-GaN gate body show the Ion/Ioff ratio of approximately 4 × 107, which is, to our knowledge, among the best results of GaN-MOSFETs to date. This research contributes a valuable information for the design and fabrication of power switching devices based on GaN.

Project description:The ubiquitous use of engineered nanomaterials-particulate materials measuring approximately 1-100 nanometers (nm) on their smallest axis, intentionally engineered to express novel properties-in semiconductor fabrication poses unique issues for protecting worker health and safety. Use of new substances or substances in a new form may present hazards that have yet to be characterized for their acute or chronic health effects. Uncharacterized or emerging occupational health hazards may exist when there is insufficient validated hazard data available to make a decision on potential hazard and risk to exposed workers under condition of use. To advance the knowledge of potential worker exposure to engineered nanomaterials, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Nanotechnology Field Studies Team conducted an on-site field evaluation in collaboration with on-site researchers at a semiconductor research and development facility on April 18-21, 2011. The Nanomaterial Exposure Assessment Technique (2.0) was used to perform a complete exposure assessment. A combination of filter-based sampling and direct-reading instruments was used to identify, characterize, and quantify the potential for worker inhalation exposure to airborne alumina and amorphous silica nanoparticles associated with th e chemical mechanical planarization wafer polishing process. Engineering controls and work practices were evaluated to characterize tasks that might contribute to potential exposures and to assess existing engineering controls. Metal oxide structures were identified in all sampling areas, as individual nanoparticles and agglomerates ranging in size from 60 nm to >1,000 nm, with varying structure morphology, from long and narrow to compact. Filter-based samples indicated very little aerosolized material in task areas or worker breathing zone. Direct-reading instrument data indicated increased particle counts relative to background in the wastewater treatment area; however, particle counts were very low overall, indicating a well-controlled working environment. Recommendations for employees handling or potentially exposed to engineered nanomaterials include hazard communication, standard operating procedures, conservative ventilation systems, and prevention through design in locations where engineered nanomaterials are used or stored, and routine air sampling for occupational exposure assessment and analysis.
