“…The growth and development of high-quality dielectrics is of exceptional importance for their incorporation into next-generation GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) because of their great potential in the radio frequency and power switching applications for both lateral and vertical devices. , The high-quality interface and the high tolerance to the electric stress are the main criteria and underlying challenges to both the material selection and growth. Various materials have been adopted on the (Al)GaN surface as the passivation and gate dielectric layer to improve the device performance and reliability, such as SiO 2 , SiN x , , AlN, Al 2 O 3 , AlON, , HfO 2 , ZrO 2 , MgGaO, and AlSiO . Among them, SiN x dielectrics grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) demonstrated excellent time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) properties in GaN MIS-HEMT .…”
