ContentsI. Introduction
II. The Design of Subchannel of InAs
III. Normal VS Inverted HEMT
IV. AlSb/InAs HEMT Growth on S.I. GaAs
Overview of InGaAs HEMT
1. Advantage for use in low noise and high frequency device
2. their high electron mobility & high sheet carrier density & high saturation drift velocity if the InAlAs/InGaAs 2DEG system
3. Conventional InP HEMT structure : high contact and gate electrode can cause large parasitic source and drain resistances (by the large conductance band discontinuity between the InGaAs cap layer and InAlAs layer, forming a barrier in the current flow between these layers)
I. Introduction Why?I. Superior to GaAs or InGaAs channel devices a) their low-field mobilityb) higher-lying satellite valleysc) deeper quantum well depthd) higher overshoot velocity
II. Scaling Factor (for sub 0.1um device)a) As Lg decreases, an appropriate aspect ratio has to be maintained to alleviate sho
rt channel Effect.b) Also, Channel thickness has to be reduced for proper aspect ratio (∵ The thinning
of barrier layer is limited by current tunneling)c) Disadvantage ( Reducing of sheet carrier density in a channel and Undesired scatte
ring phenomena because of hetero-junction interface and the enhancement of ionized dopant in supply layer)

Physics
The Basic Idea of Composite Channel
Low field channel region => electrons are mostly located in the high-mobility, small bandgap InGaA
s layer High field channel region => The energy of the electrons increases and more and more electrons p
opulate the InP layer => Because of the larger bandgap, the rate of impact ionization in InP is
smaller compared to that in the InGaAs channel => While the low-field mobility of InP is smaller than that of InGaAs, the hi
gh-field transport properties, especially the saturation velocity, are better in InP
Physics Band Structure Calculation and Electron Transport (Ref.2)
Γ-valley mass of strained InAs (parallel<Perpendicular) => The strain brings about an increase of the InAs band gap of 0.12eV

III. Normal VS Inverted HEMT(Ref. 8)a) Normal InAs Inserted Channel HEMT : high output conductance and low breakdown voltageb) InAs Inserted Channel Inverted HEMT : channel layer located on the carrier supply layer => low
output conductance (∵ superior to electron confinement and smaller distance between gate and channel)
C) Little kink-effect and a high breakdown voltage
III. Normal VS Inverted HEMT The enhancement of mobility characteristic The scattering cased by ionized donor and interface roughness

IV. AlSb/InAs HEMT (ref. 9)a) For high speed and low bias application (∵ high electron mobility and velocity, high sheet charge density and good carrier confinement)b) Disadvantage : charge control problem associated with impact ionization in the InAs channel

IV. AlSb/InAs HEMT Lattice Matched System (Ref. 10)
I. Current Status 1. Epitaxial Growth Buffer (interface roughness scattering)
2. Impact Ionization Effect a) dominant for short gate-length when the drain bias exceeds the
energy bandgap in the channel => Thinner channel scheme (kink effect and low output
conductance, transconductance and peak current density) need for trade-off of channel thickness and device performance.
