Review—Ultra-Wide-Bandgap AlGaN Power Electronic Devices

Journal Article Kaplar, R. J. ; Allerman, A. A. ; Armstrong, A. M. ; ... - ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology

“Ultra” wide-bandgap semiconductors are an emerging class of materials with bandgaps greater than that of gallium nitride (EG > 3.4 eV) that may ultimately benefit a wide range of applications, including switching power conversion, pulsed power, RF electronics, UV optoelectronics, and quantum information. This paper describes the progress made to date at Sandia National Laboratories to develop one of these materials, aluminum gallium nitride, targeted toward high-power devices. The advantageous material properties of AlGaN are reviewed, questions concerning epitaxial growth and defect physics are covered, and the processing and performance of vertical- and lateral-geometry devices are described.

Densely Aligned Graphene Nanoribbon Arrays and Bandgap Engineering

Technical Report Su, Justin ; Chen, Changxin ; Gong, Ming ; ...

Graphene has attracted great interest for future electronics due to its high mobility and high thermal conductivity. However, a two-dimensional graphene sheet behaves like a metal, lacking a bandgap needed for the key devices components such as field effect transistors (FETs) in digital electronics. It has been shown that, partly due to quantum confinement, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with ~2 nm width can open up sufficient bandgaps and evolve into semiconductors to exhibit high on/off ratios useful for FETs. However, a challenging problem has been that, such ultra-narrow GNRs (~2 nm) are difficult to fabricate, especially for GNRs with smooth edgesmore »« less

Defect-Enabled Electrical Current Leakage in Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes

Journal Article Moseley, Michael William ; Allerman, Andrew A. ; Crawford, Mary H. ; ... - Physica Status Solidi. A, Applications and Materials Science

The AlGaN materials system offers a tunable, ultra-wide bandgap that is exceptionally useful for high-power electronics and deep ultraviolet optoelectronics. Moseley et al. (pp. 723–726) investigate a structural defect known as an open-core threading dislocation or ''nanopipe'' that is particularly detrimental to devices that employ these materials. Furthermore, an AlGaN thin film was synthesized using metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition. Electrical current leakage is detected at a discrete point using a conductive atomic-force microscope (CAFM). However, no physical feature or abnormality at this location was visible by an optical microscope. The AlGaN thin film was then etched in hot phosphoric acid, andmore »« less

Soft magnetic materials for a sustainable and electrified world

Journal Article Silveyra, Josefina M. ; Ferrara, Enzo ; Huber, Dale L. ; ... - Science

Soft magnetic materials are key to the efficient operation of the next generation of power electronics and electrical machines (motors and generators). Many new materials have been introduced since Michael Faraday’s discovery of magnetic induction, when iron was the only option. However, as wide bandgap semiconductor devices become more common in both power electronics and motor controllers, there is an urgent need to further improve soft magnetic materials. These improvements will be necessary to realize the full potential in efficiency, size, weight, and power of high-frequency power electronics and high–rotational speed electrical machines. Here we provide an introduction to themore »« less

Rutile GeO ₂: An ultrawide-band-gap semiconductor with ambipolar doping

Journal Article Chae, S. ; Lee, J. ; Mengle, K. A. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Ultra-wide-band-gap (UWBG) semiconductors have tremendous potential to advance electronic devices as device performance improves superlinearly with the increasing gap. Ambipolar doping, however, has been a major challenge for UWBG materials as dopant ionization energy and charge compensation generally increase with the increasing bandgap and significantly limit the semiconductor devices that can currently be realized. Using hybrid density functional theory, we demonstrate rutile germanium oxide (r-GeO ₂) to be an alternative UWBG (4.68 eV) material that can be ambipolarly doped. We identify Sb _Ge, As _Ge, and F _O as possible donors with low ionization energies and propose growth conditions tomore »« less
