The drain current characteristic has been demonstrated. The impacts of window-recess and deep-recess have been discussed, it was found that for dp=28 nm and wn=1.8 µm the threshold voltage achieves 0.7 V and the transconductance (Gm) peak value of 523 mS at Vgs=3.5 V. A novel E-mode metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) AlInN/GaN HEMT with an Au-T-gate has been investigated. In this work, the aim is to investigate the different techniques which can influence the threshold voltage and shift it to a positive value. In this work, we demonstrated an excellent output power (Pout) density of 3.0 W/mm at 96 GHz using a novel collapse-free InAlGaN/GaN-HEMT with an 80-nm gate. Enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs would offer a simplified circuitry by eliminating the negative power supply.

The most challenging aspect in the present research activity on based-GaN devices is the development of a reliable way to achieve an enhancement-mode (E-mode) HEMT. These devices are depletion mode (D-mode), which means that a negative bias must be applied to the gate to deplete the electron channel and turn. In a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), the density of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel is modulated by the application of a bias to a Schottky metal gate.
