Lattice matched N-polar Ga N/In
0.17Al
0.83N heterojunctions have attracted much attention due totheir excellent material and electrical properties.The material and device properties of N-polar Ga N/In
0.17Al
0.83Nhigh electron mobility transistor(HEMT)were simulated by self-consistently solving the Schrodinger equation andPoisson equation and quasi two-dimensional model.The analysis shows that the increase of Ga N channel layer,In
0.17Al
0.83N barrier layer and Al N insertion layer thickness can improve two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG)sheetdensity and confinement,and the influence degree increases in turn.When the thickness of Ga N channel layer ishigher than 10 nm or the thickness of In
0.17Al
0.83N back barrier layer is higher than 25 nm,the 2DEG surface densitytends to be saturated.The introduction of the Al N insertion layer makes the 2DEG sheet density increase more greatly,and also improves the material quality of In

0.83N back barrier,mobility and confinement in heterojunction.Finally,the quasi two-dimensional model calculation shows that the maximum leakage current and peak transcon-ductance of N-polar Ga N/Al N/In

0.83N HEMT are 160 m A·mm
