研究目的
To investigate the dependences of electron mobility in AlInGaN/InGaN heterostructure on barrier and channel alloy compositions and on temperature, including various scattering processes, and to provide insights for optimizing InGaN channel HFETs.
研究成果
Alloy disorder scattering is the dominant mechanism limiting electron mobility in AlInGaN/InGaN heterostructures, with channel alloy disorder being more significant except at extreme indium compositions. Higher conductivity is achieved with high aluminum and low indium content in the barrier. Temperature-dependent mobility shows weaker dependence with increasing indium mole fraction due to strengthened alloy disorder scattering and minor changes in polar optical phonon scattering.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on approximations (e.g., linear interpolation for alloy parameters), which may introduce errors; experimental validation is not included, and practical growth conditions or device fabrication aspects are not addressed in detail.
