Beyond 8 THz Displacement-field Nano-switches for 5G and 6G Communications

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani, Riyaz Mohammed Abdul Khadar, Pirouz Sohi

The rapid progress in high capacity communication systems is reaching extremely high data rates of 100 Gb s−1, which demands electronic switches with cut-off frequencies well above 1 THz. The excellent electron transport properties of III-V heterojunctions ...

P-GaN Tri-Gate MOS Structure for Normally-Off GaN Power Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Catherine Erine, Minghua Zhu, Pirouz Sohi, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

In this letter, we present a new concept for normally-off AlGaN/GaN-on-Si MOS-HEMTs based on the combination of p-GaN, tri-gate and MOS structures to achieve high threshold voltage (V-TH) and low on-resistance (R-ON). The p-GaN is used to engineer the band ...

High conductivity InAlN/GaN multi-channel two-dimensional electron gases

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Pirouz Sohi

In this study, we propose a novel, high-conductivity multi-channel heterostructure based on lattice-matched InAlN/GaN channels with modulation-doping-induced two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). To facilitate device processing, the channel period thickn ...

p-NiO Junction Termination Extensions for High Voltage Vertical GaN Devices

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Luca Nela, Riyaz Mohammed Abdul Khadar, Catherine Erine, Taifang Wang, Alessandro Floriduz, Pirouz Sohi, Reza Soleiman Zadeh Ardebili

In this paper, we illustrate the use of RF-sputtered p-NiO to fabricate Junction Termination Extensions (JTEs) for high-performance vertical GaN-on-Si Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs). The GaN epitaxial structures were grown on 6-inch Si wafers by MOCVD. The ...

Low-temperature growth of n(++)-GaN by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition to achieve low-resistivity tunnel junctions on blue light emitting diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Pirouz Sohi, Yao Chen, Mauro Mosca

We report on low-resistivity GaN tunnel junctions (TJ) on blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Si-doped n(++)-GaN layers are grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition directly on LED epiwafers. Low growth temperature (

Impact of Strain and Alloy Disorder on the Electronic Properties of III-Nitride Based Two-dimensional Electron Gases

Pirouz Sohi

Over the past 20 years, III-nitrides (GaN, AlN, InN and their alloys) have proven to be an excellent material group for electronic devices, in particular, for high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) operating at high frequency and high power. This is ma ...

Critical thickness of GaN on AlN: impact of growth temperature and dislocation density

Nicolas Grandjean, Denis Martin, Pirouz Sohi

Critical thickness and strain relaxation of c-plane GaN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on AlN were studied as a function of growth temperature and threading dislocation density (TDD). For this purpose we used AlN/sapphire templates and AlN single c ...
