Research progress on irradiation effect of InP-based high electron mobility transistors
Indium phosphide(InP)-based high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs)have been widely adopted in space communication systems such as satellites,manned spaceflight,and deep space exploration due to their high frequency and gain,and low noise.However,high-energy particles such as protons,electrons,and neutrons in a space environment affect the performance of InP-based HEMTs and reduce the reliability of space communication systems.This paper mainly discusses the influence and degradation mechanism of defects induced by high-energy particle irradiation on the direct current(DC)and radio frequency(RF)performance of InP-based HEMTs,as well as the transconductance and kink effect in the irradiation environment.Subsequently,the research progress of radiation-hardening measures for InP-based HEMT devices is summarized and analyzed so as to provide the theoretical guidance for studying damage mechanism of InP based HEMT irradiation effect and improving its radiation-hardening technology.Finally,based on current challenges in the field,future research directions are proposed for radiation effects and radiation-hardening technologies of InP-based HEMTs.
