Description
本發明係有關一種場效電晶體,尤指一種具有δ摻雜層之場效電晶體。The present invention relates to a field effect transistor, in particular to a field effect transistor with a delta doped layer.
按,場效電晶體由於施加的電壓,電子從源極注入至汲極,而電子從源極的歐姆金屬向下傳輸至通道層,沿通道傳輸至汲極,並在汲極的歐姆金屬中向上移動,且閘極觸點調節通道中的電流,限製或打開電子從源極至汲極的流動。According to the field effect transistor, due to the applied voltage, electrons are injected from the source to the drain, and the electrons are transported from the ohmic metal of the source down to the channel layer, transported along the channel to the drain, and in the ohmic metal of the drain Moves upward, and the gate contact regulates the current in the channel, restricting or opening the flow of electrons from source to drain.
次按,電子從源極至汲極的傳輸時間在閘區域與非閘區域之通道電阻的影響,而設備的速度與傳輸時間成正比,且高電子遷移率電晶體的跨導會因閘極-源極的電阻而降低,並跨導會影響器件的增益。寄生電阻會增加器件中的I-R損耗(電壓降)。當高電子遷移率電晶體做為功率放大器時,閘極-汲極電場的降低允許器件在雪崩擊穿開始之前在更高的電壓運行,更高的電壓運行而輸出功率更高。Secondly, the transmission time of electrons from source to drain is affected by the channel resistance in the gate area and non-gate area, and the speed of the device is proportional to the transmission time, and the transconductance of the high electron mobility transistor will be affected by the gate -The resistance of the source decreases, and transconductance affects the gain of the device. Parasitic resistance increases I-R losses (voltage drops) in the device. When a high electron mobility transistor is used as a power amplifier, the reduction in the gate-drain electric field allows the device to operate at a higher voltage before avalanche breakdown begins. Higher voltage operation results in higher output power.
