The gate leakage current of MIS-HEMT is about three orders of magnitude lower than that of A1GaN/CaN HEMT. Through the recessed-gate etching, the transconductanee increases effectively. When the recessed-gate depth is 1.02 nm, the best interface performance with Tit----(0.20--1.59) p^s and Dit :(0.55-1.08)x 1012 cm-2.eV- 1 can be obtained. After chlorine-based etching, the interface trap density reduces considerably without generating any new type of trap. The accumulated chlorine ions and the N vacancies in the AIGaN surface caused by the plasma etching can degrade the breakdown and the high frequency performances of devices. By comparing the characteristics of recessed-gate MIS-HEMTs with different etching times, it is found that a low power chlorine-based plasma etching for a short time (15 s in this paper) can enhance the performances of MIS-HEMTs effectively.展开更多

No wonder. The project, scheduled for completion by 2010, will be the greatest hydroelectric project ever built by the human race. Moreover, some 1.2 million people are being resettled in the course of its construction, the largest human exodus caused by any construction project ever undertaken in the world.展开更多
