Gate-recessed AlGaN/AlN/GaN metal-oxidesemiconductor heterostructure high-mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) on SiC substrate are fabricated. The device with a gate length of 0.6 μm and a gate periphery of 100 μm exhibits a maximum dc drain current density of 1.59 A/mm at V GS = 3 V with an extrinsic transconductance (g m ) of 374 mS/mm. An extrinsic current gain cutoff frequency (f T ) of 19 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency (f max ) of 50 GHz are deduced from S-parameter measurements. The output power density is 13 W/mm, and the associated power-added efficiency is 73% at 4-GHz frequency and 45-V drain bias. The power performance is comparable to state-of-the art AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, which demonstrates the great potential of gate-recessed MOS-HEMTs as a very promising alternative to GaN HEMTs.

A hole concentration greater than 1020 cm−3 in GaAs has been achieved using a liquid CCl4 source for carbon in a low-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy system. The resistivity and hole mobility measured at 300 K for a heavily carbon-doped (1.2×1020 cm−3) Hall sample made from a thin (180 nm) epitaxial layer were 8.0×10−4 Ω cm and 65 cm2/V s, respectively. Carbon-doped samples with excellent surface morphology were achieved using a V/III ratio of 22, and growth pressure and temperature of 80 Torr and 600 °C, respectively. A novel photoluminescence technique, based on band-gap shrinkage of heavily doped p+-GaAs, has been shown to be useful for nondestructive measurement of the hole concentration in submicrometer layers.
Integrated circuits (ICs) and optoelectronic chips are the foundation stones of the modern information society. The IC industry has been driven by the so-called "Moore's law" in the past 60 years, and now has entered the post Moore's law era. In this paper, we review the recent progress of ICs and optoelectronic chips. The research status, technical challenges and development trend of devices, chips and integrated technologies of typical IC and optoelectronic chips are focused on. The main contents include the development law of IC and optoelectronic chip technology, the IC design and processing technology, emerging memory and chip architecture, brain-like chip structure and its mechanism, heterogeneous integration, quantum chip technology, silicon photonics chip technology, integrated microwave photonic chip, and optoelectronic hybrid integrated chip.
Trachelospermum jasminoides is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the use of the plant’s local alternatives is frequent, causing potential clinical problems. The T. jasminoides sold in the medicine market is commonly dried and sliced, making traditional identification methods difficult. In this study, the ITS2 region was evaluated on 127 sequences representing T. jasminoides and its local alternatives according to PCR and sequencing rates, intra- and inter-specific divergences, secondary structure, and discrimination capacity. Results indicated the 100% success rates of PCR and sequencing and the obvious presence of a barcoding gap. Results of BLAST 1, nearest distance and neighbor-joining tree methods showed that barcode ITS2 could successfully identify all the texted samples. The secondary structures of the ITS2 region provided another dimensionality for species identification. Two-dimensional images were obtained for better and easier identification. Previous studies on DNA barcoding concentrated more on the same family, genus, or species. However, an ideal barcode should be variable enough to identify closely related species. Meanwhile, the barcodes should also be conservative in identifying distantly related species. This study highlights the application of barcode ITS2 in solving practical problems in the distantly related local alternatives of medical plants.
In this letter, AlGaN/GaN Fin-HEMTs with different nanochannel geometric parameters were fabricated and characterized. The drain current density, transconductance, and on-resistance were improved by reducing the length of the nanochannel, which was attributed to the modulation of access resistance by changing the length of the nanochannel. The threshold voltage shifted to the positive direction with the decrease in the width of the nanochannel and showed the independence on the length of the nanochannel. With the reduction in the length of the nanochannel, the gate swing was increased by suppressing the increase of source resistance, improving the linearity of transconductance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
