الوصف: We report the first observation of ferroelectric gating in AlScN barrier wide-bandgap nitride transistors. These FerroHEMT devices realized by direct epitaxial growth represent a new class of ferroelectric transistors in which the semiconductor is itself polar, and the crystalline ferroelectric barrier is lattice-matched to the substrate. The FerroHEMTs reported here use the thinnest nitride high K and ferroelectric barriers to date to deliver the highest on currents at 4 A/mm, and highest speed AlScN transistors with fmax larger than 150 GHz observed in any ferroelectric transistor. The FerroHEMTs exhibit hysteretic Id Vgs loops with subthreshold slopes below the Boltzmann limit. A control AlN barrier HEMT exhibits neither hysteretic, nor sub Boltzmann behavior. While these results introduce the first epitaxial high K and ferroelectric barrier technology to RF and mm wave electronics, they are also of interest as a new material platform for combining memory and logic functionalities in digital electronics.
