Abstract

Characteristics of traps are extracted from excess noise spectra of the doped-and undoped-channel GaN/AlGaN heterostructure field-effect transistors. The two types of excess noise that have been analyzed include flicker, e.g. 1/fγ noise, and generation-recombination noise. The average trap density determined for the undoped and doped devices is 1.1 × 1016 cm−3 and 7.1 × 1017 cm−3, respectively. Two distinct trap time constants τ determined for doped devices were 16 μsec and 0.1 msec. The trap characteristics obtained from the analysis of the excess noise spectra are in agreement with data provided by other techniques.
