Abstract
Using the Quasi-Two-Dimensional (quasi-2D) model, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) with different gate length were simulated based on the measured capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics and I-V characteristics. By analyzing the simulation results, we found that the different polarization charge distribution generated by the different channel electric field distribution can result in different polarization Coulomb field scattering, and the difference of the electron mobility mostly caused by the polarization Coulomb field scattering can reach up to 1829.9 cm2/V·s for the prepared AlGaN/AlN/GaN HFET. In addition, it was also found that when the two-dimension electron gas (2DEG) sheet density is modulated by the drain-source bias, the electron mobility appears peak with the variation of the 2DEG sheet density, and the ratio of gate length to drain-source distance is smaller, the 2DEG sheet density corresponding to the peak point is higher.
Highlights
Nowadays, AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) have been a research hotspot in high frequency and high power applications due to their excellent device characteristics.[1,2,3,4] The electron mobility for the two-dimension electron gas (2DEG) is a very important parameter which directly affects the frequency characteristics and power characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HFETs

Summary
AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) have been a research hotspot in high frequency and high power applications due to their excellent device characteristics.[1,2,3,4] The electron mobility for the two-dimension electron gas (2DEG) is a very important parameter which directly affects the frequency characteristics and power characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HFETs. With the converse piezoelectric effect, the distribution of the polarization charge density in the AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructures is closely related to the channel electric field
