This investigation examines the performance of AlGaN/GaN MISHEMTs having single-gate and dual-gate with different biasing combinations to explore the linearity in terms of gmpeak, gate voltage swing (GVS) and higher-order coefficients for intermodulation distortion for low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). In addition, the influence of distinct gate biasing configurations of DG-MISHEMT on current collapse (CC) (in response to OFF-state stress in drain) has been studied using TCAD simulations. It has been observed that drop in drain current value after the gate–drain voltages return to quiescent voltages (VGSQ, VDSQ) reduces for DG-MISHEMT (when both the gates are shorted together) to 9.1% as compared with 19.4% for SG-MISHEMT. Besides, the CC phenomena for DG-MISHEMTs (for shorted gates) exhibit a slight increase from 9% to 11.8% when workfunction increases from 4.1eV to 5.2eV for gate G2. Further, linearity in terms of GVS is observed to be doubled for AlGaN/GaN DG-MISHEMTs with both the gates connected together as compared with device with screen gate G2 shorted to source. Additionally, radio frequency performance has been studied in terms of cut-off frequencies fT and fmax and minimum noise-figure NFmin for AlGaN/GaN SG-MISHEMT and DG-MISHEMTs for different gate to gate distance i.e., LGG =100 and 200nm. It is observed that NFmin is minimum for AlGaN/GaN DG-MISHEMT (with gate G1 floating and gate G2 is biased and LGG =100nm) i.e., 1.13dB with corresponding power gain of 18.7dB at 50GHz.

双栅极 MISHEMT 的 TCAD 研究,具有改进的 LNA 线性度和电流崩塌

本研究检查了具有不同偏置组合的单栅极和双栅极的 AlGaN/GaN MISHEMT 的性能,以探索 g mpeak、栅极电压摆幅 (GVS) 和低噪声互调失真的高阶系数方面的线性度放大器 (LNA)。此外,已经使用 TCAD 模拟研究了 DG-MISHEMT 的不同栅极偏置配置对电流崩塌 (CC)(响应漏极中的关态应力)的影响。据观察,在栅极-漏极电压恢复到静态电压(V GSQ , V DSQ) 将 DG-MISHEMT(当两个栅极短接在一起时)降低至 9.1%,而 SG-MISHEMT 为 19.4%。此外,当门 G2 的功函数从 4.1 eV 增加到 5.2 eV时,DG-MISHEMT(对于短路门)的 CC 现象略有增加,从 9% 增加到 11.8% 。此外,与屏蔽栅极 G2 与源极短路的器件相比,两个栅极连接在一起的 AlGaN/GaN DG-MISHEMT 的 GVS 线性度加倍。此外,针对不同门到门距离的 AlGaN/GaN SG-MISHEMT 和 DG-MISHEMT,根据截止频率f Tf max以及最小噪声系数 NF min研究了射频性能,即LGG  = 100 和 200纳米。据观察,对于 AlGaN/GaN DG-MISHEMT(栅极 G1 浮动且栅极 G2 偏置且 L GG  = 100 nm) ,NF min最小,1.13 dB,在 50 GHz时相应的功率增益为 18.7 dB。
