摘要
In AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PM-HEMT structures, the characterization of deep centers, the degradation in electrical and optical properties and their effects on electrical performance of the PM-HEMTs have been investigated by DLTS, SIMS, PL and conventional van der Pauw techniques. The experimental results confirm that the deep level centers correlate strongly with the oxygen content in the AlGaAs layer, the PL response of PM-HEMTs, and the electrical performance of the PM-HEMTs. Hydrogen plasma treatment was used to passivate/annihilate these centers, and the effects of hydrogenation were examined.
