Abstract
Improving material quality is essential for obtaining a high-power device. Surface trapping effects have been present in all HEMT devices, and have significantly impacted the problem of drain-current collapse. In this paper, performance of intentionally non-doped AlGaN|GaN|Si (HEMTs) before and after passivation with SiO2|SiN is investigated. Capacitance-voltage at various temperatures (C–V–T), a drain current–voltage at various gate voltages (Ids–Vds–Vgs), the gate leakage current with various temperatures (Igs–Vgs–T), and the maximum extrinsic transconductance Gmax are measured; all of these measurements show the impact of SiO2|SiN passivation on the performances of AlGaN|GaN|Si HEMTs.
