In this paper, we investigate the enhancement-mode (E-mode) LaLuO3 (LLO)-AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) fabricated using fluorine (F) plasma ion implantation with a gate-dielectric-first planar process. The E-mode MIS-HEMTs exhibit a threshold voltage (VTH) of 0.6 V, a peak transconductance of similar to 193 mS/mm, a small hysteresis of 0.04 V in linear region characterized by a pulse-mode current-voltage measurement, and significantly suppressed current collapse under high-drain-bias switching conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry analyses manifest that the negatively charged F ions penetrating into the (Al)GaN barrier layer serve as the primary VTH modulation mechanism, whereas the F ions in the fluorinated LLO film form chemical bonds with La/Lu atoms and become charge-neutral. The suppressed current collapse is verified as an advantageous byproduct of the F plasma ion implantation that also fluorinated the SiNx sidewalls in the vicinity of the gate electrode, and therefore, suppress electron injection to the gate-drain access region.
