AbstractAbstract
[en] The GaN based HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistors) are excellent candidates for military and spatial applications. That's why we have analysed the influence of three different types of bias stress: on-state stress, off-state stress and NGB (Negative Gate Bias), and the influence of thermalized neutrons with a fluence up to 1.7x1012 neutrons.cm-2, on their dc electrical performances. First, we have studied laboratory AlInN/GaN HEMTs. For the three conditions of stress, we have observed a decrease in the drain current and an increase in the access resistance due to pre-existing traps and to the creation of acceptor and donor traps during the stress. The ohmic and Schottky contacts were not impacted. Then, we have irradiated these components with thermalized neutrons and we have found a small degradation of the electrical performances of unstressed and on-state stressed and off-state stressed transistors. On the other hand, we have highlighted a slight increase in the drain current for NGB stressed components. Moreover, the Schottky contact of the stressed components was deteriorated. We have also irradiated AlInN/GaN MOS-HEMTs and we have concluded that they are more sensible to irradiation than HEMTs. In a second time we have stressed in the same way commercial AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with an ageing bench build during this study. For the on-state stress, we have observed an important increase in the drain current. However, the drain current increases for the on-state and NGB stressed components due to a release of electrons from pre-existing traps under vertical electrical field. The Schottky contact was degraded for the three types of stress. During the irradiation with thermalized neutrons, the unstressed and stressed transistors are degraded and a small decrease in the drain current is visible. However, the Schottky contact was only degraded for unstressed and on-state stressed components. (author)

Les transistors HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistors) de la filiere GaN sont destines a des applications dans les domaines militaire et spatial. C'est pourquoi nous avons etudie l'influence de trois types de stress electriques: a canal ouvert, a canal pince et NGB (Negative Gate Bias), ainsi que l'influence de neutrons thermalises avec une fluence pouvant aller jusqu'a 1,7.1012 neutrons.cm-2, sur leurs performances electriques dc. Dans un premier temps, nous avons etudie des HEMTs AlInN/GaN de laboratoire. Pour les trois stress, nous avons observe une diminution du courant de drain ainsi qu'une augmentation de la resistance d'acces dues a la creation de pieges accepteurs et donneurs au cours des differents stress et a la presence de pieges preexistants. Les contacts ohmiques et Schottky n'ont pas ete impactes. Nous avons ensuite irradie ces composants par des neutrons thermalises et avons observe une legere degradation des performances electriques des transistors non stresses et stresses a canal ouvert ou pince. En revanche, nous avons mis en lumiere une legere augmentation du courant de drain pour les transistors ayant subi un stress NGB. De plus, les contacts Schottky ont ete degrades pour les composants stresses. Nous avons egalement irradie des MOS-HEMTs AlInN/GaN et conclu que ceux-ci etaient plus sensibles vis a vis des irradiations que les HEMTs. Dans un deuxieme temps, nous avons stresse de maniere analogue des HEMTs AlGaN/GaN du commerce grace a un banc de caracterisation et de stress automatique developpe durant cette etude. Dans le cas du stress a canal ouvert, nous avons observe une diminution importante du courant de drain tandis que pour les stress a canal pince et NGB le courant de drain augmente legerement a cause d'une liberation de pieges preexistants sous l'action du champ electrique vertical. Pour les trois stress le contact Schottky est degrade. Lors des irradiations avec des neutrons thermalises, ces transistors, stresses ou non, subissent la encore des degradations traduites notamment par une faible diminution du courant de drain. Cependant le contact Schottky n'est impacte que pour les composants non stresses et stresses a canal ouvert. (auteur)Original Title
