摘要
AlGaN/GaN test structures, with an etched constriction have been fabricated and tested with, and without, a gate. A pulsed voltage input with a 200 ns pulse width and a four-point measurement were used in a 50 Omega environment to determine the room temperature velocity-field characteristic of the structures. A low field mobility of 250 cm(2)/V sand an estimated electron velocity of similar to2 x 10(7) cm/s was attained at a field of 180 kV/cm. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. (C) All rights reserved.
