摘　　要：Depletion-mode and enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using fluorine plasma treatment were integrated on one wafer.Direct-coupled FET logic circuits,such as an E/D HEMT inverter,NAND gate and D flip-flop,were fabricated on an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure.The D flip-flop and NAND gate are demonstrated in a GaN system for the first time.The dual-gate AlGaN/GaN E-HEMT substitutes two single-gate E-HEMTs for simplifying the NAND gate and shrinking the area,integrating with a conventional AlGaN/GaN D-HEMT and demonstrating a NAND gate.E/D-mode D flip-flop was fabricated by integrating the inverters and the NAND gate on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure.At a supply voltage of 2 V,the E/D inverter shows an output logic swing of 1.7 V,a logic-low noise margin of 0.49 V and a logic-high noise margin of 0.83 V.The NAND gate and D flip-flop showed correct logic function demonstrating promising potential for GaN-based digital ICs.Depletion-mode and enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using fluorine plasma treatment were integrated on one wafer.Direct-coupled FET logic circuits,such as an E/D HEMT inverter,NAND gate and D flip-flop,were fabricated on an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure.The D flip-flop and NAND gate are demonstrated in a GaN system for the first time.The dual-gate AlGaN/GaN E-HEMT substitutes two single-gate E-HEMTs for simplifying the NAND gate and shrinking the area,integrating with a conventional AlGaN/GaN D-HEMT and demonstrating a NAND gate.E/D-mode D flip-flop was fabricated by integrating the inverters and the NAND gate on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure.At a supply voltage of 2 V,the E/D inverter shows an output logic swing of 1.7 V,a logic-low noise margin of 0.49 V and a logic-high noise margin of 0.83 V.The NAND gate and D flip-flop showed correct logic function demonstrating promising potential for GaN-based digital ICs.
