- Abstract
- In this paper, for the first time the threshold voltage instability of 100 V rated p-GaN power HEMTs is investi-gated by combined pulsed-IV measurements and capture and emission time (CET) MAPS, by investigating a remarkable time window of 9 decades, from 1 mu s to 1000 s. After a statistical analysis to demonstrate the repeatability of the experimental results, pulsed IV characterization revealed the existence of a non-monotonic Delta VTH shift, as a function of the (positive) gate stress bias. To gain further insight on the positive threshold shift, CET MAP analysis has been carried out at different temperatures: the results provide relevant insight on the physical properties of the population of traps responsible for the VTH shift, most likely located at the AlGaN/GaN interface. In addition, the related capture and emission time-constant as a function of temperature are investi-gated, thus allowing to extract the activation energies for the trapping and de-trapping processes, and to propose a model for the trapping mechanisms.
