Titel
Effect of gate metal on reliability of metamorphic HEMTs
Abstract
The influence of the gate metal on the reliability of metamorphic InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs with a gate length of 0.12 µm was studied by biased accelerated life tests in air and in nitrogen. By replacing the Ti-Pt-Au gate by Pt-Ti-Pt-Au we found that the life time at 220°C can be increased at least by a factor of two. An activation energy of 1.5 eV and a life time of 1.1×106 h at 125°C in air were derived for MHEMTs with Pt-Ti-Pt-Au gate.
