英文摘要： The project focuses on new device structures and fabrications of GaN-based IMPATT, Gunn diode, and RTD which have shown promising applications in technology of terahertz source. Based on previous researches of our group, we propose key techniques on the DDR-IMPATT with p-type GaN Schottky contact, the planar Gunn diode with InGaN back barrier, and the InAlN/GaN/InAlN RTD with InGaN interlayer. Particularly, the AlGaN and supper lattice interlayers are proposed to enhance the p-type doping; the deep ohmic contact and surface passivation are proposed to improve the stability of 2DEG in the channel of Gunn diode; the InGaN interlayer are proposed to enhance 2D-2D tunneling mode. Theoretical investigations of these devices are put on the device mechanism and numerical simulation, and device processing are put on the manufacturability, both of which aims to empirically obtain the high efficient avalanche-tunneling mechanism consequently a negative differential I-V characteristic of DDR-IMPATT, and obtain the uniformly distributed 2DEG in the channel of planar Gunn diode thereby easily form a steady electron domain, and significantly lower the defect density at the interface of quantum well in order to realize a steady I-V characteristic of RTD under the condition of scanning bias-voltage.
