- ItemHigh-temperature electromechanical loss in piezoelectric langasite and catangasite crystals(Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2021) Suhak, Yuriy; Fritze, Holger; Sotnikov, Andrei; Schmidt, Hagen; Johnson, Ward L.Temperature-dependent acoustic loss Q−1 is studied in partially disordered langasite (LGS, La3Ga5SiO14) and ordered catangasite (CTGS, Ca3TaGa3Si2O14) crystals and compared with previously reported CTGS and langatate (LGT, La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14) data. Two independent techniques, a contactless tone-burst excitation technique and contacting resonant piezoelectric spectroscopy, are used in this study. Contributions to the measured Q−1(T) are determined through fitting to physics-based functions, and the extracted fit parameters, including the activation energies of the processes, are discussed. It is shown that losses in LGS and CTGS are caused by a superposition of several mechanisms, including intrinsic phonon–phonon loss, point-defect relaxations, and conductivity-related relaxations.
- ItemEnhancement-mode Ga2O3 wrap-gate fin field-effect transistors on native (100) β-Ga2O3 substrate with high breakdown voltage(Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2016) Chabak, Kelson D.; Moser, Neil; Green, Andrew J.; Walker, Dennis E.; Tetlak, Stephen E.; Heller, Eric; Crespo, Antonio; Fitch, Robert; McCandless, Jonathan P.; Leedy, Kevin; Baldini, Michele; Wagner, Gunter; Galazka, Zbigniew; Li, Xiuling; Jessen, GreggSn-doped gallium oxide (Ga2O3) wrap-gate fin-array field-effect transistors (finFETs) were formed by top-down BCl3 plasma etching on a native semi-insulating Mg-doped (100) β-Ga2O3 substrate. The fin channels have a triangular cross-section and are approximately 300 nm wide and 200 nm tall. FinFETs, with 20 nm Al2O3 gate dielectric and ∼2 μm wrap-gate, demonstrate normally-off operation with a threshold voltage between 0 and +1 V during high-voltage operation. The ION/IOFF ratio is greater than 105 and is mainly limited by high on-resistance that can be significantly improved. At VG = 0, a finFET with 21 μm gate-drain spacing achieved a three-terminal breakdown voltage exceeding 600 V without a field-plate.
- ItemSuppression of particle formation by gas-phase pre-reactions in (100) MOVPE-grown β -Ga2O3films for vertical device application(Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2023) Chou, Ta-Shun; Seyidov, Palvan; Bin Anooz, Saud; Grüneberg, Raimund; Pietsch, Mike; Rehm, Jana; Tran, Thi Thuy Vi; Tetzner, Kornelius; Galazka, Zbigniew; Albrecht, Martin; Irmscher, Klaus; Fiedler, Andreas; Popp, AndreasThis work investigated the metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of (100) β-Ga2O3 films with the aim of meeting the requirements to act as drift layers for high-power electronic devices. A height-adjustable showerhead achieving a close distance to the susceptor (1.5 cm) was demonstrated to be a critical factor in increasing the stability of the Ga wetting layer (or Ga adlayer) on the surface and reducing parasitic particles. A film thickness of up to 3 μm has been achieved while keeping the root mean square below 0.7 nm. Record carrier mobilities of 155 cm2 V-1 s-1 (2.2 μm) and 163 cm2 V-1 s-1 (3 μm) at room temperature were measured for (100) β-Ga2O3 films with carrier concentrations of 5.7 × 1016 and 7.1 × 1016 cm-3, respectively. Analysis of temperature-dependent Hall mobility and carrier concentration data revealed a low background compensating acceptor concentration of 4 × 1015 cm-3.
