Design, fabrication and characterizations of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure sensors

The microelectronics industry, next to the powerful, continuously scaling of integrated circuits, is currently evolving in the diversification of integrated functions, generally referred to as more than Moore (MtM). MtM concerns all technologies enabling microsystems to be elevated to a higher integration level, and with small package size,...

Low power AlGaN/GaN MEMS pressure sensor for high vacuum application

A micro-scale pressure sensor based on suspended AlGaN/GaN heterostructure is reported with non-linear sensitivity. By sealing the cavity, vacuum sensing at various temperatures was demonstrated. To validate the proposed concept of the AlGaN/GaN vacuum sensor, a 700 µm diameter circular membrane was electrically characterized under applied...
