Characterization of Interface Charge in NbAlO/AlGaN/GaN MOSHEMT with Different NbAlO Thicknesses

We investigate the influence of interface charge on electrical performance of NbAlO/AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOSHEMTs). Through C—V measurements and simulations, we find that the donor-type interface fixed charge density Q_it of 2.2 × 10¹³ cm⁻² exists at the NbAlO/AlGaN interface, which induces the shift of the threshold voltage much more negative. Furthermore, a trap density of approximately 0.43 × 10¹³–1.14 × 10¹³ cm⁻²eV⁻¹ is obtained at the NaAlO/AlGaN interface, which is consistent with the frequency-dependent capacitance and conductance measurement results
