Application of ZnO to Passivate the GaN-based Device Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The fabrication of high-resistivity ZnO-based thin films lattice-matched to AlGaN/GaN structures has been developed. It relies on low-temperature reactive sputter deposition of ZnO:Sb from ZnSb target. Taking into account the hygroscopic nature of ZnO surface, an additional coating by Si3N4 films is applied to ensure the humidity protecition. The developped passivation suppresses leakage currents in Schottky diods, and substantially improves output characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMT.
