We present a detailed analysis of trap states in InAlN/AlN/GaN double-channel high electron mobility transistors grown by pulsed metal organic chemical vapor deposition. By frequency dependent conductance measurements, trap densities and time constants at both InAlN/AlN/GaN interfaces were determined. Two types of traps, with a high density of up to ∼1014 cm−2 eV−1, were observed existing at the higher InAlN/AlN/GaN interface. On the other hand, the density dramatically decreased to ∼1012 cm−2 eV−1 for traps located at lower InAlN/AlN/GaN interface on which a low-temperature grown GaN (LT-GaN) layer was deposited. Additionally, photo-assisted capacitance-voltage measurements were performed to estimate deep-level defects, yielding a low density of 1.79 × 1011 cm−2 acting as negative fixed charges at the LT-GaN and lower InAlN interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
