摘要： This paper studies systematically the drain current collapse in AlGaN/GaN metal--oxide--semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) by applying pulsed stress to the device. Low-temperature layer of A12O3 ultrathin film used as both gate dielectric and surface passivation layer was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). For HEMT, gate turn-on pulses induced large current collapse. However, for MOS-HEMT, no significant current collapse was found in the gate turn-on pulsing mode with different pulse widths, indicating the good passivation effect of ALD A12O3. A small increase in Idd in the drain pulsing mode is due to the relieving of self-heating effect. The comparison of synchronously dynamic pulsed Idd-Vds characteristics of HEMT and MOS-HEMT further demonstrated the good passivation effect of ALD A12O3.
