Ge-Doped ${\beta }$ -Ga2O3 MOSFETs

Abstract

We report on MOSFETs fabricated on Ge-doped β-Ga <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> homoepitaxial material grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (010) Fe-doped semi-insulating substrates. The Ge-doped channel devices performed similar to previously reported devices with Sn- and Si-doped channels with the drain current <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ON/OFF</sub> ratios of >10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8</sup> and the saturated drain current of >75 mA/mm at V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">G</sub> = 0 V.

A MOSFET with a gate-drain spacing of 5.5 μm had a three-terminal breakdown voltage of 479 V.
