TLDR
A new method of passivation control by electroluminescence (EL) in 0.15 μm AlGaN/GaN HEMT reveals some modification of the electric field distribution in the gate-drain space probably induced by traps located at the passivation/semiconductor interface.

Breakdown mechanisms in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs: An overview

TL;DR: In this article, the physical mechanisms responsible for breakdown current in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were reviewed and compared through a critical comparison between experimental data and previously published results.

Trapping and Reliability Assessment in D-Mode GaN-Based MIS-HEMTs for Power Applications

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive analysis of the trapping processes and of the reliability of experimental AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMTs, grown on silicon substrate, is presented, based on combined pulsed characterization, transient investigation, breakdown, and reverse-bias stress tests, and provides the following, relevant, information: exposure to high gate-drain reverse bias may result in a recoverable increase in the on-resistance (RON), and in a slight shift in threshold voltage; devices with a longer gate-drone distance show a stronger increase in RON,

Extensive analysis of the luminescence properties of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive analysis of the electroluminescence spectra of GaN-based high-electron mobility transistors (HEMT) submitted to different bias regimes is presented.

Analysis of traps effect on AlGaN/GaN HEMT by luminescence techniques.

TL;DR: The spectral analysis of the light emission in the visible near infrared spectrum shows a bell-shape with superimposed distinct emission peaks that suggest that the electroluminescence (EL) signal is due to the direct intraband of electrons and inelastic intraband transition of electrons due to scattering by charged centres.

Influence of GaN cap on robustness of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

TL;DR: In this paper, DC-step-stress tests of GaN HEMTs have been performed on wafers with and without GaN-cap, and it has been found that wafer with GaN cap show much higher critical voltages as compared to non-capped epitaxial designs.

The impact of surface states on the DC and RF characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HFETs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the cause of current collapse is a charging up of a second virtual gate, physically located in the gate drain access region, thus acting as a negatively charged virtual gate.

Effect of surface passivation of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistor

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of SiN passivation of the surface of AlGaN/GaN transistors is reported, and the discrepancy in the DLTS peak amplitude is explained by the effect on the surface traps and underlines the surface nature of the major defect noticed in the device.
