The advantages of blue InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with AlGaN barriers are studied numerically. The performance curves, energy band diagrams, electrostatic fields, and carrier concentrations are investigated. The simulation results show that the InGaNAlGaN LED has better performance than its conventional InGaNGaN counterpart owing to the increase of hole injection and the enhancement of electron confinement. The simulation results also suggest that the efficiency droop is markedly improved when the traditional GaN barriers are replaced by AlGaN barriers.

We study the effects of disorder on the exciton spectra in quantum well (QW) semiconductor structures. We model the disorder by introducing the fractional Laplacian into the Schrödinger equations, which describe the exciton spectra of the above QW structures. We calculate the exciton binding energies in its ground state and a few low-lying excited states as a function of the GaAs QW size.

This study investigates the effects of incorporating a CdZnO layer in place of the conventional InGaN layer in an AlGaN/InGaN/GaN/AlGaN/SiC high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structure. We examine the resulting characteristics and assess the potential of high-power HEMT applications, including high-power switching converters, through simulation analysis. Both structures demonstrate increased drain current and transconductance with increasing Al content in the barrier layer.

An extreme bandgap AlGaN quantum channel HEMT with AlGaN top and back barriers, grown by MOCVD on a bulk AlN substrate, demonstrated a critical breakdown field of 11.37 MV/cm-higher than the 9.8 MV/cm expected for the channel's AlGaN material.

In this work, we present the novel application of SiN stress-engineering techniques for the suppression of short-channel effects in AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs), accompanied by a comprehensive analysis of the underlying mechanisms. The compressive stress SiN passivation significantly enhances the barrier height at the heterojunction beneath the gate, maintaining it above the quasi-Fermi level even as rises to 20 V. As a result, in GaN devices with a gate length of 160 nm, the devices with compressive stress SiN passivation exhibit significantly lower drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) factors of 2.

In order to improve the off-state and breakdown characteristics of double-channel GaN HEMTs, an ultra-thin barrier layer was chosen as the second barrier layer. The strongly polarized and ultra-thin AlN sub-barrier and the InAlN sub-barrier are great candidates. In this article, the two epitaxial structures, AlGaN/GaN/AlN/GaN (sub-AlN) HEMTs and AlGaN/GaN/InAlN/GaN (sub-InAlN) HEMTs, were compared to select a more suitable sub-barrier layer.
