چکیده

در این مقاله، مدل عددی برای محاسبه چگالی و جریان الکترونی چاه کوانتم ترانزیستورهای AlGaN/GaN با در نظر گرفتن فشارهیدرواستاتیکی ارائه شده است که امکان بررسی اثر فشار روی رسانندگی متقابل، ساب باند‌های چاه کوانتمی، جریانهای نشت سطحی و حجمی و نهایتاً مینیمم نویز را فراهم می‌کند. دراین مدل از حل خودسازگار معادله شرودینگر و پواسون در بدست آوردن چگالی گاز الکترونی دو بعدی استفاده شده که در آن تا پنج ساب باند انرژی در نظر گرفته شده است. افزایش فشارمعادل گیت مجازی در ترانزیستورها در مجاورت گیت حقیقی عمل میکند که باعث افزایش عمق چاه کوانتم، جریان و چگالی الکترونی، رسانندگی متقابل، جریانهای نشت ونهایتاً مینیمم نویز میگردد. با افزایش فشار ساب باندها چاه کوانتم دو بعدی به سمت پایین فشرده می‌شود و الکترون‌ها بستگی قوی پیدا می‌کنند و محدودیت کوانتمی افزایش می‌یابد . همچنین در هر فرکانس و جریان درین سورس دلخواهی افزایش فشار باعث افزایش مینیمم نویز می‌شود. نتایج محاسبه شده با داده‌های تجربی موجود مطابقت خوبی دارند.

چکیده [English]

In this paper, a numerical model for calculating the density and electron current of quantum wells of AlGaN / GaN transistors is presented by considering hydrostatic pressure, which enables the effect of pressure on mutual conductivity, quantum well subbands, surface and volume leakage currents and finally check for minimum noise. In this model, a self-consistent solution of Schrodinger and Poisson equation is used to obtain a two-dimensional electron gas density in which up to five energy subbands are considered. An increase in hydrostatic pressure is equivalent to creating a virtual gate adjacent to a real gate., which increases the quantum well depth, current and electron density, cross-conduction, leakage currents, and finally the minimum noise. As the pressure increases, the quantum well subbandes are compressed downward, and the electron-dependent energy increases and the quantum confinement increases. Also, at any desired frequency and drain-source current, increasing the pressure increases the minimum noise. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
