We have presented a comparative account of the high frequency prospective as well as noise behaviors of wide-bandgap 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC based on different structures of IMPATT diodes at sub-millimeter-wave frequencies ...We have presented a comparative account of the high frequency prospective as well as noise behaviors of wide-bandgap 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC based on different structures of IMPATT diodes at sub-millimeter-wave frequencies up to 2.18 THz. The computer simulation study establishes the feasibility of the SiC based IMPATT diode as a high power density terahertz source. The most significant feature lies in the noise behavior of the SiC IMPATT diodes. It is noticed that the 6H-SiC DDR diode shows the least noise measure of 26.1 dB as compared to that of other structures. Further, it is noticed that the noise measure of the SiC IMPATT diode is less at a higher operating frequency compared to that at a lower operating frequency.展开更多

A growth of A1GaN over GaN leads to the formation of two- dimensional electron gas （2DEG） at the heterointerface. High 2DEG density （ns） is achieved at the heterointerface due to a strain induced piezoelectric effect between A1GaN and GaN layers. The electrons are confined in the InGaN-channel without spilling over into the buffer layer, which also reduces the buffer leakage current. From the input transfer characteristics the threshold voltage is obtained as -4.5 V and the device conducts a current of 2 A/mm at a drain voltage of 10 V. The device also shows a maximum output current density of 1.8 A/ram at Vds of 3 V. The microwave characteristics like transconductance, cut-off frequency, max frequency of oscillation and Mason＇s Unilateral Gain of the device are studied by AC small-signal analysis using a two-port network. The stability and power performance of the device are analyzed by the Smith chart and polar plots respectively. To our knowledge this proposed InGaN-channel HEMT structure is the first of its kind.展开更多
